Async/concurrent cell execution #696

@davidbrochart

Description

@davidbrochart

With ipykernel it is already possible to await at the top-level. akernel takes this behavior one step further by launching each cell in a task, allowing for concurrent cell execution. This will open up new possibilities, and it can already be a solution to difficult problems related to ipywidgets.
A similar attempt was done in ipython/ipython#11347 by @Carreau, although I think the approach is very different.
Do you think it could be interesting/possible to have ipykernel support this kind of behavior?
