I expect some discussion on the commands and their exact spelling. I will add
documentation once the UI is clear, if that's OK.

I tried to summarize it in the cover letter. I hope it's sufficiently detailed 
for
discussion. If it helps, I can send a documentation patch, as well, but I'm 
afraid
I might end up redoing it completely.

The speed decrease depends very heavily on the application. We measured
between 8.7x and 66x overhead.

Regards,
Markus.
