I think it makes sense to keep the bg and thread reading code together.
The reflection API call and the thread code were the two that I thought
did not mix. The reason this matters is because it really helps 1 year
down the road when you are trying to look at the history of a given
command. If patches for different things were all mixed together, it
would be really hard to track down exactly how the code got from one
point to another.
