I'd be quite interested in this aswell other reasons -- e.g. I would like to 
have a hook in Vg to be able to compress the internal streams in PDFs. That 
would also make things like a pure PNG codec quite easy to write.  

I don't know the kind of interface you have in mind but it would be nice to 
make it independent of the asynchronous library used. I have a simple pattern 
for that here [1], it's used both by jsonm [2] and vg [3] (and will eventually 
be used by xmlm once I get to write version 2).  

Best,

Daniel
