Would it be feasible to provide asyncio compatible client?

[takeda]

I know this package is synchronous, but am wondering (based on how it was designed) is there possibility that it could have async client, or changes needing to be done would be so massive, it would warrant complete rewrite?

I'm aware of emcache, aiomcache which are async, but without a doubt this package has most features and is most popular.

Hi @takeda I haven't dug into how invasive it would be to make this client async, but if I had to guess we would end up adding some separate async clients in addition to the existing ones to support this.

That being said. we would be happy to accept contributions to add optional async support
