Just thinking off the top of my head...

How well would the proposal support a producer/consumer work queue, or a 
signal/slot implementation?

A work-queue consumer would view the queue as an infinite range with no 
end, but the producer would view that same queue as an infinite range 
with no beginning. And, conceivably, you could have "conduits" between 
the producer and consumer that would view that same queue as having 
neither a beginning nor an end.

I'm making no judgment about whether the proposal supports or doesn't 
support that kind of model. I'm just putting the idea out there for 
consideration.
