For the time being, I think we have to take the approach Dan suggested,
and then revisit the entire API. The impact here is actually minimal
because the chances of unplug failing when plug has succeeded is very low.
If it can fail, it changes the nature of the API in a fundamental way
that probably requires a deep thought about what the API should look
like in the future.
