"Asynchronous article fetch" could be implemented with a simpler approach
to run code in a "sandbox" similarly to HTML5 "workers" that run
computationally expensive scripts in the background independently of any
user interface scripts that allows for long-running scripts to be
executed without yielding to keep the application responsive.  More at:
