async_job patch in Kaoryia's gVim (windows)

Question

Kaoryia's gVim builds for Win32/64 come with a number of extra, non-official patches enabled.

Some of them are pretty clear: :set charspace=-1, for example, will tighten the space between characters; :set transparency=250 will do what its name implies.

But there is also this patch: async job, by Taro MURAOKA, briefly described in the source as:

job.c - Asynchronous job support

Does anyone know what exactly it does, with perhaps an example about its usage?

Answer 1

That patch job, defines a new VimL function jobrun(). But you better ask at that repository for a documentation.
