[development] Queue as a supplement to cron

I sometimes find myself building a queue in a hook_cron() implementation. I decided to make a separate module for this, job_queue, http://drupal.org/project/job_queue. It provides an API which takes a function name and array of arguments for later execution on cron. The only UI is a list of queued function calls. Is this functionality something that people would like to see in core? Search module has a 'queue' of unindexed content, would it benefit from having an abstracted queue? -- Neil Drumm http://delocalizedham.com
