Yeah, we might as well omit it for now and add it later when it's
actually needed. It's just that given that queue and flush are the
two core interfaces, I didn't want to leave it out, and the current
implementation is the lowest-effort one. I'd be happy to make it
better if you have good suggestions.
Thanks.
