Review comment:
       Since restriction trackers return `RestrictionT`, we could only do this 
if we updated the `trySplit` method to return `SplitResult<RestrictionT>` where 
`SplitResult` would be something like `Optional`.
   
   That could be useful if we wanted to plumb the failure reason for the split 
back to the runner.
