 =item aio_move $srcpath, $dstpath, $callback->($status)

 Try to move the I<file> (directories not supported as either source or
 destination) from C<$srcpath> to C<$dstpath> and call the callback with
 the C<0> (error) or C<-1> ok.
 This is a composite request that tries to rename(2) the file first. If

 detected, it will be emulated by calling C<fsync> instead.

+[EXPERIMENTAL]
+This is a very special aio request: Instead of doing something, it is a
+container for other aio requests, which is useful if you want to bundle
+many requests into a single, composite, request.
+Returns an object of class L<IO::AIO::GRP>. See its documentation below
+for more info.
+Example:
+   my $grp = aio_group sub {
+      print "all stats done\n";
+   };
+   add $grp
+      (aio_stat ...),
+      (aio_stat ...),

+=item IO::AIO::aio_sleep $fractional_seconds, $callback->()  *NOT EXPORTED*
 Mainly used for debugging and benchmarking, this aio request puts one of
 the request workers to sleep for the given time.
+While it is theoretically handy to have simple I/O scheduling requests
+like sleep and file handle readable/writable, the overhead this creates
+is immense, so do not use this function except to put your application
+under artificial I/O pressure.

 untouched. That means that requests that currently execute will not be
 stopped and resources held by the request will not be freed prematurely.
 =back
+=head2 IO::AIO::GRP CLASS
+This class is a subclass of L<IO::AIO::REQ>, so all its methods apply to
+objects of this class, too.
+A IO::AIO::GRP object is a special request that can contain multiple other
+aio requests.
+You create one by calling the C<aio_group> constructing function with a
+callback that will be called when all contained requests have entered the
+C<done> state:
+   my $grp = aio_group sub {
+      print "all requests are done\n";
+   };
+You add requests by calling the C<add> method with one or more
+C<IO::AIO::REQ> objects:
+   $grp->add (aio_unlink "...");
+   add $grp aio_stat "...", sub {
+      $_[0] or return $grp->result ("error");
+      # add another request dynamically, if first succeeded
+      add $grp aio_open "...", sub {
+         $grp->result ("ok");
+      };
+   };
+This makes it very easy to create composite requests (see the source of
+C<aio_move> for an application) that work and feel like simple requests.
+The IO::AIO::GRP objects will be cleaned up during calls to
+C<IO::AIO::poll_cb>, just like any other request.
+They can be canceled like any other request. Canceling will cancel not
+just the request itself, but also all requests it contains.
+They can also can also be added to other IO::AIO::GRP objects.
+Their lifetime, simplified, looks like this: when they are empty, they
+will finish very quickly. If they contain only requests that are in the
+C<done> state, they will also finish. Otherwise they will continue to
+exist.
+That means after creating a group you have some time to add requests. And
+in the callbacks of those requests, you can add further requests to the
+group. And only when all those requests have finished will the the group
+itself finish.
+=over 4
+=item $grp->add (...)
+=item add $grp ...
+Add one or more requests to the group. Any type of L<IO::AIO::REQ> can
+be added, including other groups, as long as you do not create circular
+dependencies.
+Returns all its arguments.
+=item $grp->result (...)
+Set the result value(s) that will be passed to the group callback when all
+subrequests have finished. By default, no argument will be passed.
