One thing worth remembering, if you do, is that multi-get should be
tighter than it is in existing APIs, if you're going to the trouble
of writing it in C: after splitting the gets and sending them to various 
servers, it's probably best not to read replies server-after-server,
like perl/PHP APIs do, but use select/poll/whatever to read them 
simultaneously, so as not to let a slower server become a bottleneck.
