Maybe "obviously" so from a pragmatic point of view, but in a theoretical sense, I don't see why: for async backends, the `while-no-input` should only apply to the "first chunk" of computation which launches the async subprocess (or communication) and it seems OK to abort this first chunk if the user hits a key while it's executing. So maybe the better answer is to improve the implementation of `while-no-input` so it doesn't abort here. Stefan
