Yeah, I sort of got that, but imagine in a multi-user p2p environment
(the internet "global brain"), it could be a way to enforce policy
across the network. I know list policy, but I rather like the
keywords it used to expand on the language. By making the programmer
encode expectations, the multiprocessing code doesn't have to work so
hard with exception handlin.
