  Implements async bindings to Observable and Promise.
  
  # Example
  
  In this example we bind the description observable to the DOM. The async pipe will convert an
  observable to the
  latest value it emitted. It will also request a change detection check when a new value is
  emitted.
  
   ```
  @Component({
    selector: "task-cmp",
    changeDetection: ON_PUSH
  })
  @View({
    template: "Task Description {{ description | async }}"
  })
  class Task {
   description:Observable<string>;
  }
  
  ```
