TBH, I wouldn't like to be dependent on MSVC on Windows -- the compiler
is great as an additional source of diagnostics, and some people might
like the smaller runtime, but in the end we want to be 100% free
software.

I also don't like the idea of introducing MSVC-only code. But at the
moment, the pthreads implementation of C++ async code is 1-2 orders of
magnitude slower under windows than Linux. We have a number of open
bugs that directly point back to this. Using MSVC translates the async
calls to native threads.
If we have an option to improve the user experience while keep our code
open and standards-compliant, I hope we'll consider it.
