"All" my CPUs is only 4, but it's probably ridiculous for
somebody with a 16-core system to have 16 processes for
accessing SQLite DBs.

We do the same thing in Pmdir for parallel Maildir access
(and V2Writable).

11/16 is a bit worrying for saved search dedupe over HTTP(S),
and I can't seem to reproduce it reliably, either..

ls-mail-source and import use is far nicer, as it provides a
good avenue for doing partial fetches.

lei/store IPC got a massive overhaul, and the sto_done_request
simplification is nice.  This will probably simplify automatic
export-kw support to IMAP folders.

I also noticed "lei config --edit" was wonky, so
I made it share code with "lei edit-search".

Starting to document config knobs, too.

Eric Wong (16):
  ipc: wq_do: support synchronous waits and responses
  ipc: allow disabling broadcast for wq_workers
  lei/store: use SOCK_SEQPACKET rather than pipe
  lei: simplify sto_done_request
  lei_xsearch: drop Data::Dumper use
  ipc: drop dynamic WQ process counts
  lei: clamp internal worker processes to 4
  lei ls-mail-source: use "high"/"low" for NNTP
  lei ls-mail-source: pretty JSON support
  net_reader: fix single NNTP article fetch, test ranges
  xt: add fsck script over over.sqlite3
  watch: use net_reader->mic_new wrapper for SOCKS+TLS
  net_reader: no STARTTLS for IMAP localhost or onions
  lei config --edit: use controlling terminal
  net_reader: disallow imap.fetchBatchSize=0
  doc: lei-config: document various knobs
