one thought does concern me. one of the reasons for using todo manager
was to move stuff off of the current thread to break a deadlock. there
should have been tests for this but might not have been.

the deadlock occurs when a message marked @AsyncReceiver(Queued) runs.
it cannot run on the thread of the queuer, as that is the reader thread.
i hope this is preserved.
