Kotlin 1.3: how to execute a block on a separate thread?
I've been reading up about concurrency in Kotlin and thought I started to understand it... Then I discovered that async() has been deprecated in 1.3 and I'm back to the start.

Here's what I'd like to do: create a thread (and it does have to be a thread rather than a managed pool, unfortunately), and then be able to execute async blocks on that thread, and return Deferred instances that will let me use .await().

What is the recommended way to do this in Kotlin?
