This is all sounding pretty good. I wonder if the third argument
should be a boolean however. If we make it 'text, 'send mode',
instead, we could leave some room for more specialization of the
queuing behavior.
For example, we've had a couple of requests over the years to have an
'immediate' mode which dumps the notification immediately to the
client without waiting for tx commit. This may or may not be a good
idea, but if it was ultimately proved to be, it could be introduced as
an alternate mode without adding an extra function.
