I see what you're trying to achieve here, and I think it makes sense.

But I don't really like the way this is achieved here :) We're basically
changing the return value of a public functions to return ERROR where it
returned OK before, for something that might happen under normal operation. I
don't think that's great, and we don't know if there are any other users or
not.

I think it would be great if we could come up with another way to do this that
doesn't change behaviour like this unexpectedly.

Brainstorming: maybe we could make it an opt-in by setting some flag on the
connection, or we can add a function to check if there's pending backlog or
not, or similar?
