asyncSomething would be a pain in the ass. I hate typing and it would clutter the readability. Imagine the name pipe having to be asyncPipe. I would prefer pipe$ or pipe_ which are much more readable. Pipe_ does the least cluttering. (I know you probably don't care much about cluttering since you hate coffeescript). :-)
In any case there would be a giant argument with thread lengths surpassing even async threads like this. The only feasible solution would be for the BDFL to choose something and demand it.
