That's correct.  My with_callstack wrapper supports calling  
subroutines (which can yield values to the server or return results to  
their caller) within a single application instance.  It doesn't  
support switching between app instances, since that's the server's  
job.  Therefore, it doesn't help with your DB connection pool example.
