You guys are forgetting what the user really wants in the first place.
All he wants to do is do another
$ some_command &
as in the shell.
He is used to doing lots of these without regard if the previous one has
finished yet or not... else what fun would asynchronous be?

Therefore the wisest thing would be to automatically create
*Async Output of bla gla* (or no word Async)
*Async Output of moo goo*
*Async Output of bla gla<2>*
for him, without bothering him with questions.
