 Each of these methods will receive exactly the number and order of arguments described. Optional arguments will receive sensible defaults. All callbacks are error-first and must be asynchronous. If an operation within your implementation is synchronous, be sure to invoke the callback on a next tick using `process.nextTick(callback, ..)`, `setImmediate` or some other means of micro- or macrotask scheduling.
