Wrapping a Chilkat Synchronous Method in C# async/await

Chilkat provides its own Async functions, separate from C#’s async/await. For each synchronous Chilkat function that may take time due to network communication or other factors, an Async version is also available, returning a Chilkat Task object (distinct from C#’s Task object).
