OK. I guess we can then start with the simple check then.

That should be a fairly simple change to do at any time. But perhaps we 
want to do it from the start.

I hate blocking and waiting for stuff. It usually means all kinds of lock
dropping tricks, and extra hurdles if you want to cancel the operation.
My brain just can't deal with it. I much prefer a nice and simple event
based mechanism.
