But shouldn't then both commas be removed?

"A regexp value lets files which name matches the regexp being visited
asynchronously, ..."

Is this really better?

No, not every command runs asynchronously. "C-x & C-x C-b" calls
`list-buffers' ("C-x C-b"), but this isn't performed
asynchronously. Every command can decide itself whether it reacts on the
"C-x &" prefix command; for now these are the file visiting
commands. More shall follow.

(Yes, Drew, I know that the prefix command is `universal-async-argument'.
Don't let us discuss it, again :-)
