I have been writing node.js client code for a couple of years now, and have 
authored a couple open source libraries, but somehow I missed the memo 
telling me that I'm supposed to wrap 'synchrounous' callbacks in 
process.nextTick().  I kind-of understand why that is a best-practice, but 
what I don't understand is what the drawback is if you don't do it.

For example, I write code like this all the time, and have never had a 
single problem with it:

function getSomething(args, cb) {
    if (!args) { return cb(new Error('args required')); }
    if (!args.id) { return cb(new Error('args.id required')); }

    SomeDatabase.get({id: args.id}, cb);
}

What are the potential issues with not wrapping those arg checks in 
process.nextTick()?


Thanks, 

Bryan
