  Description     : module for asynchronous subtests

Regular subtests have a limited scope, they start, events are generated, then
they close and send an Test2::Event::Subtest event. This is a problem if you
want the subtest to keep receiving events while other events are also being
generated. Test2::AsyncSubtest implements subtests that stay pen until you
decide to close them.

This is mainly useful for tools that start a subtest in one process or thread
and then spawn children. In many cases it is nice to let the parent process
continue instead of waiting on the children.

The package will be maintained under the umbrella of the Debian Perl Group.
