I think it might be a good idea to extend simple/extend query
protocols that way, but even if so, I would like to leave that for
future work, because even without that, I think this is still an
improvement, and I do not want to set the goal for the first cut too
high.
Having said that, if the next query uses simple query protocol, we can
avoid the extra communication by sending the two queries in a single
function call. I will do that in the next version.
Thanks for the comment!
