dpratt71 I tend to think that so-called fluent APIs are sometimes abused, but it seems to me that something like
await t.ContinueOnCapturedContext();
would be more readable and a more flexible pattern for dealing with future unknowns.

staceyw I just realized the trusty DoEvents() was sort of an old school version of async. Schedule rest of me on the queue on current context.
Good work. Look forward to trying the new bits. Thank you.
