Marshall,
  Would you have sometime to add tests to the patch? Would be good to have this in the next 3.4 release if possible.

> Reading through the source, the C API implements zoo_async() which is the zookeeper sync() method implemented in the multithreaded/asynchronous C API.  It doesn't implement anything equivalent in the non-multithreaded API.
> I'm not sure if this was oversight or intentional, but it means that the non-multithreaded API can't guarantee consistent client views on critical reads.
> The zkperl bindings depend on the synchronous, non-multithreaded API so also can't call sync() currently.
