I know this approach and it is not what I call monitoring because it is
worker-initiated.  I only want to report progress if and when someone
asks.  Otherwise either you have to very carefuly tune the work chunk
sizes, or you get skippy status updates sometimes and too much
communication other times.

But OK, I will continue to implement these things myself...
