Yes, I understand.  It's simple, it's also very specific to this
problem, and doesn't address generic ack notification.  All of which
I've noted before and I continue to note that v8 offers simplifications
while retaining flexibility.  Least amount of code doesn't really buy us
much if we end up needing to invent new interfaces down the road because
we've created such a specific solution here.  Thanks,

One side of the coin is trying to create one generic interface instead
of multiple specific interfaces.  The other side is that by providing a
generic interface, you sometimes expose internal implementation details,
or you constrain future development in order to preserve that interface.
 If the generic interface is not actually exploited, you get pain for no
gain.

This tradeoff is different for every feature.  Right now I'm leaning
towards specialized interfaces here, because we expose quite a lot of
low-level detail.  However I'll review v8 soon and see.
