I think this is a pretty good summary; it's rare to need this (though
often essential when you do) and it's also hard. TBH I'm not sure there
are any sensible semantics for a lot of the cases - the best the
framework can do is give the app an option for clocks, and try to give
them as much info as possible about how they've advanced or not.
