Note that I'm not talking about asynchronous clients, which you have now.

I'm speaking of asynchronous methods on the service classes. For example, instead of overriding OnGet, I should be able to override OnAsyncGet, which uses C# Async CTP's async/await support, or OnBeginGet/OnEndGet, the older APM.

Support for async will allow us to write services that do not block on IO and make more efficient use of threads.
