Another thing is that it seems like having introspection type
interface often lead to abuses - work_pending(), work_busy() both
ended up bringing more unnecessary dependencies and subtle bugginess
on internal details than actual benefits.  Querying %current is much
less likely to be harmful in itself but I'm afraid it might encourage
its users to develop something crazy on top.  It might be a good idea
to make it only available to async.

Thanks.
