How to generate async method with svcutil?

Question

Is it possible generate async ServiceOperation only for one method by svcutil?

I know I can add /async parameter but then it generates all methods in async pattern.

/async option allows you to generate both synchronous and asynchronous method signatures. Default: generate only synchronous method signatures. There is no possablilty to specify particular contract. But this may be helpful for you

Note that as of Visual Studio 2012, the default behavior for svcutil appears now to generate both sync and async method signatures. /syncOnly will revert this back to the 'old default'... That wasted three hours of my life this morning. – Chris Ray Mar 06 '13 at 19:07

It's not possible. Svcutil can't generate partial asynchronous proxies.
