It means that having passed a request off to the SMUX subagent,
the master agent should then wait for a response, before moving on
to the rest of the original request.

No - the agent has the option of sending variables to the SMUX peer
one at a time for Get and GetNext requests *only*. It should *NOT*
split a Set request into separate SMUX requests. An incoming Set
request should be passed to the SMUX peer as *ONE* request - potentially
containingmultiple varbinds.

The SMUX peer should receive all of the (relevant) varbinds in one go.
If it doesn't then the master agent is broken.
