I don't think we should do this at all.  Anyone who wants to use the
new async interfaces should use the v4 headers.  As Tony Battersby
already said, the legacy v3 users aren't going to update, so there's no
point at all introducing new interfaces for v3.  We simply keep the v3
only read/write interface until there are no users left and it can be
eliminated.
