IDispatcher.Dispatch returns bool vs IDispatch.DispatchAsync extension method is void (Task), why?

[mosessaur]

I noticed That IDispatcher.Dispatch method returns boolean. And documentation makes sense "true when the action has been dispatched successfully, otherwise false"

On the other hand IDispatcher.DispatchAsync doesn't have a return value. Still the documentation says "true if the operation in funcTask was dispatched successfully, otherwise false"

Is the documentation wrong regarding DispatchAsync?

Well... DispatchAsync isn't on the interface IDispatacher, there's no such method there. The DispatchAsync method is a DispatchExtension, as you can see here.

Because of that the return type is different.

Friendly reminder that .net maui is open source, take advantage of that and explore (;

I understand that is an Extension Method.
But the documentation of the extension method is still incorrect.
If you check the documentation of public static Task DispatchAsync(this IDispatcher dispatcher, Action action) it says "true if the operation in action was dispatched successfully, otherwise false"
and for public static Task DispatchAsync(this IDispatcher dispatcher, Func<Task> funcTask) it says "true if the operation in funcTask was dispatched successfully, otherwise false"

Thanks for the source link, I was looking for it.

Where are the docs? From the inline docs (///) didn't mention the boolean value
