/**
 * Creates an asynchronous directive that calls the user-specified startup and cleanup functions in accordance with the lifecycle and render argument changes.
 * Typically, there is no need to expose this directive directly to users. Instead, please provide a method that wraps the directive in a [Reactive Controller](https://lit.dev/docs/composition/controllers/).
 * See [click-outside.ts](../click-outside.ts) for an example of actual use.
 * @param start A startup function that is called when the directive is rendered. It must return a cleanup function.
 * @param shouldRenew A function that determines whether it is necessary to restart.
 *                    The arguments of the current directive call and the directive call when it was last started are passed.
 *                    If omitted, a function that compares each element of the array using `Object.is` is used.
 * @returns An async directive.
