This does look a bit cleaner than the previous one, but I agree with Benjamin -- this style of async function is designed more for cases when multiple operations can execute in parallel, which isn't the case with WebView loading.  I think it should only keep the first two parameters and use signals and other method calls (eg. to cancel), pretty much as at present.

I do like this, though.  Maybe we should just have a signal which does this instead?
