----------------------------------+-------------------------
 The communication between frontend and backend operates in one socket
 synchronously. One query cannot be asked before the previous query has
 responded. This can cause responsiveness issues when the UI thread blocks,
 waiting for access to the socket. Asynchronous communications could be
 added with limited disruption to third party clients by adding a new
 command that optionally enables it, and having all subsequent
 communications pass a message number immediately after the message size.
