It’s a Async\Interval, but it behaves entirely like a background fiber (and it can be implemented using a background fiber as well): what I mean is, it can be treated in the same way as a background fiber, because it’s an background task that can be spawned by the library in any method: if await_all was used during construction but not during destruction, it would cause a deadlock (because it would wait for an uncontrolled background task when exiting the block, according the proposed functionality of wait_all).
