Async LISTEN/NOTIFY support?

[mecampbellsoup]

Is it possible to listen for asynchronous PG notifications using this library? Is that functionality supported?

Yes, you have to use connection.raw_connection then call add_listener as per asyncpg docs: https://magicstack.github.io/asyncpg/current/api/index.html#asyncpg.connection.Connection.add_listener

Yep exactly we ended up dropping down to the asyncpg API.
