In the case of a tasks which invokes an algorithm which has a

Currently, yeah. We might want to make "pause" also trigger synchronous
sections, if that's a problem.
Having "pause" trigger synchronous sections is definitely easier for us
to implement, and would make pausing the event loop consistent with
spinning the event loop WRT synchronous sections.
