Right.

Sure.

The idea (I think) is that, for instance, when SEEN-G3-GARBAGE is false,
you can't decide if that's because the guardian code is actually buggy
or if that's because the GC is somehow rightfully retaining G3.  IOW,
you can't decide whether the test case passes or not, so you throw
`unresolved'.
