We ask for more information than we've got in this case, though.  And
you try to get internals chapters written for things like this :-)

We're in a tricky situation.  The developers of async mode were
respected contributors - but they're not here any more to explain
their work.  It doesn't work as-is, so we can't test it.  And Nick's
patches to bring it into shape require someone who really understands
what they're doing to review them.  That's not going to be me, since I
couldn't figure the patches out when I last tried.
