I have currently no use for call Emacs Lisp from Emacs Lisp, but a very
need for a solution for call Emacs Lisp from C++ as "script language"
for our plugin-system at firm where I work.

Even though personally I have no use for async-eval I can imagine that
your code may be useful extension to Emacs. Perhaps with possibility to
access Emacs on other machines over network?
