I also like that wording, thank you!
BTW I am not proposing this be added in the spec. My intent is to clarify why
I think the current statement in the spec is correct.
That's right. But it might also be helpful to tell when the reference
may become unreachable. The fact that the transition from not being
strongly reachable to being unreachable and reclaimed may happen
atomically from the standpoint of the program, is not immediately
obvious. Or is it?
