 - gracefully block concurrent use of conflicting features

I agree that any blocking should be graceful, but ultimately I find
the idea of disallowing features because they happen to use the same
underlying implementation distasteful.  With a little work we should
be able to allow both with no problem.

Yes, I would prefer to avoid blocking if at all possible. But I included
it as a last resort until things can be fixed correctly. IOW, by
"graceful" I just meant "die with an error instead of segfaulting".
Which would still arguably be a bug, but at least would clue the user in
to what is happening.

Anyway, happy moving and I'll look forward to seeing your patch when it
is ready. :)
