Yes, use them. There are autodocs for them in the 1.3 developers
update (call/write CATS), and I believe they are in expansion.library (I
could be wrong).

They do this already. Wait a second or two. The one exception is
the requesters WB puts up when you do a loadwb, and some disks aren't in drives.
Those you have to Retry (will be fixed).
