I'm in favour of that, and I already started writing the necessary  
patch. But it looks like we'll have to bump the so number a last  
time, for 4.3, and then make the private part of the structure wider,  
to accomodate any new flags (for things like extension, or the way  
we'll really handle asynchronous I/O).
