This can cause reordering with parallel readers. Can we avoid the need
for peeking? It also caused a slew of subtle bugs previously.

Yes, I did notice the potential for re-ordering when writing the patch..
but these are not actuallly messages from the wire, so is re-ordering 
fatal?

Some applications out there would break horribly, trust me.
