I've pushed these changes with this doc addition.

 * This is useful for long-running operations that takes longer than
 * the default timeout (which is a on the order of magnitude of tens
 * of seconds). For some applications, consider using a pattern where
 * the method returns once the operation is underway
 * (e.g. immediately) and emits a signal when the operation terminates
 * (though beware of leaking information with/in the signal return value).
