That's pretty much a given --- the ability to pass some payload data in
notifications has been on the TODO list for a very long time.  I don't
think we're going to reimplement listen/notify without adding it.

I like your suggestion of "topic" for the notify name, and am tempted to
go fix the documentation to use that term right now ...
