I missed this:
Just asking because it looks like no one want this feature in real and everything seems to be about add_buffer() (not even the threadstarter seems to be interested which is imo a bit confusing)
Okay, thanks for the info! That's extremely useful!
I didn't quote anyone when I wrote that because it was in response to more than one person: You, jcl, Richi007 and TechMuc (I didn't know about add_buffer, and thought when they mentioned it that add_buffer was indeed what needed to be thread-safe, because I assumed it was what loaded the file). I had your example in mind especially when I wrote the latter half. I just didn't name names because it was a thanks to everyone who had contributed towards the idea that this could indeed already be done.
