Well, I *could* leave with it and with RCtso locks, ;-) but I'd rather not. Assuming that I will not be able to resist this RCtso trend, ;-) would the below (completely untested) work? let rmw = rmw | lk-rmw (* from lock.cat *) let po-unlock-rf-lock-po = po ; [Release] ; rf ; [domain(rmw)] ; po [the rest of your patch + the updates to the doc.
