 Hm, something that has just occurred to me: it's easy to have
async messages in the user Monitor, we could add a new type of
user print callback called async_print.

 This new callback would be called by the Monitor when the async
message API is called but we are in user mode.

 This is really today's user_print, but user data is printed
asynchronously.
