I think we could sanely implement a "round robin" system, such that
we add a document to each database in turn.  That would at least
share the load, even if it wasn't exactly balanced.

I'm not sure we want to get into anything fancier - as you say, the
callback is clumsy, and it'll actually be simpler to just handle it in
user code.
