Your proposal is totally incomplete, so I can only surmise its
behavior in certain cases, to make a guess at what the problems might
be (see my remarks on EPQ, live lock, etc). This makes it impossible
to do what you ask right now.

Besides, you haven't answered the question from my last e-mail
("What's wrong with that [set of MERGE semantics]?"), so why should I
go to further trouble? You're just not constructively engaging with me
at this point. We're going around in circles.
