Writing asynchronously with OpenXmlWriter

See original GitHub issue

The OpenXmlWriter doesn’t appear to have any async overloads. Is it not possible to write in a asynchronous fashion?

I’m referring to the OpenXmlWriter here though.

I see that the OpenXmlWriter is implemented by OpenXmlPartWriter, which delegates calls to a regular System.Xml.XmlWriter, which does have async overloads for all write operations such as WriteStartElementAsync, WriteAttributeStringAsync, etc…

So it should be possible to add async overloads to the OpenXmlWriter class as well.

@twsouthwick , unfortunately I don’t have enough time at the moment but I’ll keep in mind that you accept PRs and may come back to it later. I haven’t done the analysis of all the classes that could to be made async. I suppose it doesn’t all need to be added at the same time… I guess it’s a matter of finding all of the IO operations, for which .NET provides async overloads. One potential problem is that adding async overloads can cause duplicate code for the sync and async paths. One mitigation is to do sync over async, but I believe it has its own problems.
