I hope that was *meant* to be funny, but no; as I said before I want
to write the *minimal* interface that you can still call a
demultiplexor.  This demultiplexor should however not impose
any restrictions on what you can write with it.  It should also
be possible use it for a high-performance web server (after adding
a lot of extra code by the user).  So, the "high-performance"
remains a demand yes.
