This seems odd.?? I would have thought any async connect option would 
have been isolated in the fabrics.c file and applicable to any transport.

I can understand why this works as fc is well suited for this division 
(allocates ctrl 1st, then makes 1st connection in same style as 
reconnects). But the other transports aren't structure the same way so 
they're going to be a bit more trouble.
