FWIW, I gave this some thought, and then realized it's not really a drop-in
replacement; you end up potentially receiving calls from two threads instead
of one, which means that you'll suddenly need to care about locking a lot
more data structures.

Of course, if your code was already thread-per-connection, it won't change
much.
