Thanks so much for contributing this!
I am pleasantly surprised how well this works, and it clearly was a mistake to not start additively in the first place. After all, on the consuming side, one can just import the same type name (either async or sync), and existing code will work as before.
So even if this for some reason stops translating up the dependency tree, there is a net-win.
This was just a cursory review, but I think once I can have my rustdoc links back, I can finish it and get this merged.

I am particularly interested to see how this is ever (of course not in this PR) becoming additive without code duplication. But maybe it doesn't have to be, as making the plumbing crates additive is already a win.
In any case, I am staying tuned 🤩.

Yes, I think there will be a bit more duplication at the higher levels, hopefully that will still be acceptable.

I also realise now that as long as callers can use traits, these will work perfectly due to maybe_async. So maybe, just maybe, this will work just fine.
