All right... WHY, RASTER, WHY??? Syncing makes baby Jesus cry.

Seriously, we've been looking for provable Sync use cases. Please  
have raster forward his reasons to the list, especially for something  
as heinous as multiple Syncs in one function. Attach code if you need  
to.

No, just use XCBAuxSync from xcb-util instead, if you must.

Yes, each XCB*Reply matches one request. No shortcuts.
