Huh. I don’t see this in the headers. Oh, it’s in objc-internal.h, which is only in the source repo.

I did not even know there was async deallocation. Whoever had that bright idea should be fired from a cannon into the sun. Brief googling indicates that it’s related to blocks teardown? Objective-C used to be such a nice, simple, language that was dynamic and reliable enough to be abused. Now it apparently can barely be used, let alone abused. I wish Apple had stopped trying to improve it and just focused on their clang and Swift messes (possibly this is unfair; I haven’t the time or desire to learn Swift, and no confidence that Apple can design a language that doesn’t suck).

I deleted the implementation in my codebase and left the class names just in case, like Omni did with OFObject.
