Even if it is, I still don't see how the proposed
TCO feature would help here, because it calls the
supplied function *immediately*, which is not what
you want to do.

What you're talking about amounts to running the
session as a coroutine, and what you want to do is
suspend the coroutine until a particular query
comes back from the browser. TCO won't help you
with that.
