I feel as though if anything is async, committing ought to be async
(intuitively, it's the thing that ought to take time and be failable).

On the other hand, for your usage in UOA, you can't return the object-path tail
synchronously... so account creation can't usefully be sync either?

There is also the issue that UOA is currently the only thing overriding
create() (true?), which makes create() rather useless. I wish we'd thought
about this before merging create().

I'm tempted to merge a branch I'm working on (which combines McdStorage into
McdPluginAccountManager) before this one, so that you don't have to write so
much boilerplate...
