hey, thanks for coming back. The asynchronous unobserve in the meaning that Object.unobserve is performed synchronously but the delivery of records is asynchronous and performed regardless the object is not observed anymore.
Inside the observer each record can point to an object that is no more observed and I am not sure if there is a way to understand this or if the observer should perform the getNotifier(obj) check. The way I would implement this is that when the Object.unobserve(obj) is called, the queue, if any, with all previous records, is delivered at that time, and not during the next tick. Thoughts?
