      1. What would you like to communicate to the user about this feature?
      2. Would you like the user to see examples of the syntax and/or executable code and its output?
      3. Which versions of the driver/connector does this apply to?

      Context

      The async API does not support forking, but does not explicitly error when it encounters a fork. This is misleading to users and risks creating deadlocks, as child processes share their parent process's asyncio loop.

      Definition of done

      A fatal exception should be raised when an AsyncMongoClient detects that it has been forked.
