Right.  Now, what is it about a better interface (that does all the
right checks to make sure that, for instance, WAIT FOR EVENT is
properly inserted &c.) that doesn't solve that problem?  I know that
sounds like it's way too far out from the core; but it isn't.  You
_can_ reliably do this with slonik today; it's just hard, awkward,
painful, &c.  If that's the case, then a better interface is all
that's needed.  No?
