Some cool code for you guys - I present asyncComputed

[Andrew Stakhov]

I finally completed my asyncComputed extension to KO. This takes the concept described in this article to the new level: http://www.knockmeout.net/2011/06/lazy-loading-observable-in-knockoutjs.html

What my code allows you to do is specify a computed function, which *may* load it's data from a long running operation (aka, async), or it may evaluate immediately. The code also allows a hybrid operation where the function supplies a temporary value which is then replaced with server value once execution is complete. Here's the code, please provide criticism, improvement suggestions:

Story of my life, think I made an invention and then realize you reinvented the wheel lol. Although looking at that project I think mine has a nicer usage syntax.
