Might be nice to add (optional?) reliability mechanism to server->uid broadcasts:

Mod clients to (auto) acknowledge receipt of broadcasts.
Mod server to retry broadcast to clients that haven't ack'ed receipt within some timeout.
Broadcast fn could maybe take opts (for timeout, retries, etc.) and cb fn to ultimately be informed of the number of clients that successfully ack'ed receipt?

This would cooperate (be in addition to) #420.

#423 may be a dependency.

Wouldn't be too difficult to add this, might consider for Sente v1.19.
Please 👍 if something like this would be desirable for your use case.
