I also agree the customize look like the best option, 54df918ad1 adds
`comp-async-query-on-exit' setting it to nil as default.

Please have a look to the docstring I've added and let me know in case
needs improvent, my docstring skills are worst than my coding one's.

Closing the bug in the meanwhile.

Thanks
