Not to discourage you but... I think you should try not to add many 
features for now. The more features you add, the harder it might be to 
merge with 3.7 codebase, which should be out "soon". One thing you could 
concentrate on is making sure everything is thread-safe.

Or, you could ask Chris Cason to give you the code sooner than the rest 
of us, so you can start *now* with porting your patch to 3.7.
