You just made me VERY interested in the forthcoming Fiber peer 
review, thank you. AFIO's third worked example in its tutorial is a 
peak performance "find in files" implementation and it, being 
completely asynchronous right down to even enumerating directories, 
is a mess of callbacks. I had assumed that was as good as it could 
get.

It looks possible that Fiber could replace much of that mess of 
callbacks with something far more readable. You definitely have my 
attention now, I may even have a crack at adding Fiber support to 
AFIO, and see what happens. One again, thank you.
