    11Nitpick: "synchronous with" != "atomic with". Two things can be synchronous, but an error causes one of them to happen and the other not. The decref would only be synchronous with, not atomic with the decide-to-rm operation if #1833 were implemented. (This is why Noether's failure handling model is better :-)
