Yes! Some coworkers discussed this with me long ago, but we never got
a chance to do it. I don't know when I will have time to do it myself;
if you want to implement it I will do whatever I can to help.

We can discuss the design here on the list. Here are some
(underdeveloped) ideas from my old discussions:

 * peer-peer, not master-slave
 * built-in eventual consistency
    - in a general-purpose store, the client has to resolve inconsistencies
    - but hopefully beanstalkd can resolve inconsistencies automatically
 * introduce the feature a piece at a time rather than one huge change
 * maybe embed the replication protocol in the existing protocol
