Thanks for letting me know.

You got it about right. There is a balance to strike between
implementation, that would cover more useful cases, but has more
dependencies (something like possibility of having multiple query id),
and more minimalistic implementation that would actually be acceptable
in the way it is now. But I haven't heard back from David about it, so I
assume everybody is fine with the minimalistic approach.
