I mentioned 3 things right here:
* signal
* parameter to control delay (2 separate delays)
* docs

Many other things have been mentioned on other posts and I am unhappy
with the answer "lets defer everything til 9.1". Yes, some things need
to be deferred, but not everything. I feel for you both as developers,
and apologise if you don't like what I say, but we need to get things
into a better state for 9.0. Please.
