Sorry, I meant to send you a follow-up email about using the delay
filter for this testing, and didn't get around to it. It is possible
to do this already by putting the delay filter over and controlling
the extents delay. Something like:
./nbdkit -f -v --filter=delay \
python ./plugins/python/examples/file.py \
file=test.img delay-extents=1

What is the purpose of yield() here?
