This is what I think the people's real problem is, the implementation becomes a 
more complex when including payloads (larger ones even more so).  I think its a 
side-track to discuss queue vs condition variables.  Whether a notify is 20 
bytes through the network or 8192 bytes doesn't change its design or purpose, 
only its size.

Calling this a creeping feature is quite a leap.
