I am not sure that that is completely valid:  It is true that @:
involves a step where the entire result is assembled before work can
continue, while @ does not have that (though if we have side effects
going we can rely on the current implementations to unambiguously
impose a serial order on them).

Still... your thinking is something of a valid abstraction.
