Clients will need to request an update operation on model elements; we should provide a mechanism for that. The updater implementation may decide, based on timestamps or some cached `dirty' status to perform or discard the request, coalesce requests or whatever. The update operation should be asynchronous; client will get Task handle so it can wait for the operation to complete. Initially, it will be sufficient to update whole sources or classes; after we get an incremental parser, we may be able to do smaller update operations.
The task is obsolete and it does not describe current module design. Closing as INVALID.
