true, trying to fabricate indexes with things like "call_one" and "call_two" 
doesn't make much sense.  i read it as "one call has been made" rather than 
"this is the first call" which is why i didn't object right away ;).

the format will need some way of marking suspended/resumed calls and making 
sure the other side is able to sanely re-assemble them.  and do so across 
processes/threads/signals/etc... :).
