Of course, modeling a lisp program on the way a C library did things, is
probably not the right thing.

But I think the way it operated was sound: a request was fired off, and
the caller basically forgot about it.  When responses arrived, a handler
was created and the handled results were put in their right place, or
errors where created, and displayed in an "error place" (eg. a log or an
error window or the minibuffer or whatever).

But handling pipelinging means being more intimate with the TCP
connection than you probably plan to be...?
