Remarks

The following are some of the notes about why the asynchronous operations are provided this way in this class.

There are two possible options in which asynchronous support can be provided:

1. Classical pattern (Begin and End)

2. Event based pattern

Although the PowerShell API uses the classical pattern and we would like the Job API and PowerShell API to be as close as possible, the classical pattern is inherently complex to use.
