Yes, I've been thinking about this too, it would be cool. Every time I
think about things like this I tend to end up cursing emacs for not
having threads though.

I don't think so, TCP connections are also asynchronous, but you could
also run some code with idle-timer to do things like this. I think
that could work quite well, and the code written to work with that
would require small changes if/when emacs get threads.
