So, the question is, in Twisted, if I want to defer on an operation
that is going to block, say I'm making a call to run a database query
that I'm expecting will take much time, and want to yield ("defer")
for other events to be processed while the query is executed, how do I
do that? As far as I remember the Twisted docs I read a long time ago
did not provide a solution for that.
