| What is the motivation of using "info" instead of a request.

There shouldn't be any info arg at all. In fact, the reason for the two-phase
operations was to elliminate the need for requests, since there was a desire
to avoid the very general semantics that using requests implies (the original
suggestion used requests, but with severe restrictions; this was felt to be
using "requests" for some object that wasn't a request).
