That is the idea, yes. Libraries which invoke callbacks in threads
other than the one the application is expecting are evil, because then the
user of the library has to write thread safe code too.

It's reasonable to define expecting, in this context, as the thread from
which the connection was made which is not necessarily the main thread.
