The problem I see with queue arguments is that there are two types of queues 
that people might be using — dispatch_queue_t and NSOperationQueue — and there 
doesn't seem to be a way to convert one into the other. So if you design your 
API to take an NSOperationQueue argument and your caller is using dispatch 
queues, or vice-versa, then your caller is up a creek, unless you go to the 
trouble to create two versions of each API, one for each type of queue.
