cause the "small" node to stop at state A40 and avoid any
externally-visible action.
*** Transition safety checking
In state C100, the transition from P_current -> P_latest is checked
for safety and sanity. The conditions used for the check include:
1. The Erlang data types of all record members are correct.
2. UPI, down, & repairing lists contain no duplicates and are in fact
mutually disjoint.
3. The author node is not down (as far as we can tell).
4. Any additions in P_latest in the UPI list must appear in the tail
of the UPI list and were formerly in P_current's repairing list.
5. No re-ordering of the UPI list members: P_latest's UPI list prefix
must be exactly equal to P_current's UPI prefix, and any P_latest's
UPI list suffix must in the same order as they appeared in
P_current's repairing list.
The safety check may be performed pair-wise once or pair-wise across
the entire history sequence of a server/FLU's private projection
store.

** Mid-April 2015
I've finished moving the chain manager plus the inner/nested
projection code into the top-level 'src' dir of this repo. The idea
is working very well under simulation, more than well enough to gamble
on for initial use.
Stronger validation work will continue through 2015, ideally using a
tool like TLA+.

I've come to realize that the property that causes the nice property
of "Were my last 2L proposals identical?" also requires that the
