In general this definition makes it impossible to return a list of eigenstates from the junction. Just think of junctions containing Code objects. Or anything more complicated than the built-in value types. > But the C<!eigenstates> method (as currently defined) does not return > a list of such eigenstates.

Right; but afaict it's the only thing that can actually be implemented. And because it doesn't make all too much sense, it's specced to be private.
