Ah, right.  I think we should try for something at
least a little bit better, for now.  There will no doubt
be room for improvement after that.  And things can no

One way to handle tradeoffs, perhaps, is to allow optional
arguments that let callers indicate which behaviors to
choose, among several whose effects might conflict.
