Tiny Tweak: SELECT with some sort of delay

A recent patch for 6.0 has given users the ability to delay SELECT statements in certain circumstances.

If there’s an INSERT DELAYED going on, then the SELECT can wait for it, or not, depending on the option that the user chooses. This is not the same as saying “there will be a SELECT DELAYED like INSERT DELAYED” — the conditions are not the same. But the new option (whatever it’s finally called) will help out in some debugging and synchronization scenarios.
