An alternative would be to add new, separately named methods which do the fire-and-forget thing.

If I hadn't recently added `execute_write_script` and `execute_write_many` in #1570 I'd be more into this idea, but I don't want to end up with eight methods - `execute_write`, `execute_write_queue`, `execute_write_many`, `execute_write_many_queue`, `execute_write_script`, `execute_write_scrript_queue`, `execute_write_fn`, `execute_write_fn_queue`.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",1087931918,
