So I think we should put a big fat warning on Dialog's run() during this
release. This issue is something we need to address, but we don't have a
patch yet and I think it'll take some serious engineering to address
well. Until then, we should encourage people to connect to
Dialog.Reponse, I think.

I'll write a patch to his effect if people agree.
