Missing promisified overloads

[JumpLink]

@ewlsh Some promisified methods are missing, for example for Gio.read_async + Gio.read_finish or Gio.File.load_contents_async + Gio.File.load_contents_finish

[ewlsh]

I'm looking at what happened here, should have a fix in the next few weeks.

I'm upgrading a GNOME extension to ts-for-gir 4.0.0 types, and noticed missing promisified overloads as well:

• Soup.Session.send_async
• Soup.Session.send_and_read_async
• Gio.File.delete_async

Is this the same issue, or should I rather open a new one?

@swsnr I think this will be the same problem, so it will be correct here.

@ewlsh In v3 I just checked if there are methods with the same prefix and ending with _async and the other with _finish, but that might not be so clean either, especially since there are some cases where this convention is not followed

@ewlsh could you explain a bit how this works with you new parser atm? Maybe a good start to get into your code base.

Sorry for the delay here, adding some context and potential fixes here: #177

@ewlsh @JumpLink Is there any way forward here, or at least some reasonable workaround? At least for my use cases that's quite a serious regression 😬 and I'm still stuck with the types generated with the old 3.x version.

A "reasonable" workaround is, the casting of these functions, it is ugly, but doable 🤷🏼‍♂️ see an example here

and here my personal type helper for this:

@swsnr This is definitely an issue that I would like to fix as soon as I find the time. Apart from that, the 4.x types seem to work fine
