Because Felix wanted to keep the mailbox.egg as is.
Yes, I take full responsibility for this due to performance
paranoia and gratuitous minimalism. Please don't be too
annoyed by this.
After some reflection I think Felix is correct. At least until we
have more experience w/ mailbox2. If people really needed timeouts &
cursors they would have been added by now. I do encourage people to
try using it though. The api is an extension of mailbox so just
changing the '(use mailbox)' to '(use mailbox2)' is enough.
While the overhead to support the new features is minimal to none the
mutations behind the scenes to data structures are scary. And it
makes use of undocumented "features." And I haven't tested it w/
async i/o yet.
I need the mailbox2 features for TinT (really only timeouts, cursors
are just nice). Maybe others can find a use for them in web-oriented
code?
cheers,
felix
