Sure we need a way of explicitly state cleanup functions per-effect but it can be done the Vue way: by passing onCleanup as a parameter. -
@msdsk why can't it be async? And, saying it could, what would you want the renderer to wait for? Couldn't you just fire and forget whatever you want cleaned up?
