Oh, and I forgot to mention: it dequeues in batches, but the output plugin interface is unchanged. So we do not yet have the ability to add batching to the outputs. That's a totally different story, and I'll look at implementation when we have done basic verification that the queue works (or earlier, as needs require ;)).
