Good point. Fixed.
After collecting some suggestions, I'm attaching a new patch contains the
following changes:
- patch was rebased
- include Alvaro's patch (v2-0001) [1] as a basis for this patch
- add ioworker as new backend type
- add startup as new backend type per Andres suggestion
- small changes into documentation

I'm including Alvaro's patch as is just to make the CF bot happy and to
illustrate how it would be if we adopt his solution to centralize the list of
backend types. I think Alvaro's proposal overcomes the objection [2], right?
