...but the other way around isn't true. Here's Tucker's example that
convinced me that some sort of "pragma Passive(Buffer_Task);" wasn't
going to cut it. Write a PO a that is in one of two states,
"accepting calls to Entry_1" and "accepting calls to Entry_2",
never in both states at the same time, and never in neither state
(as observed by callers). Pretty easy. With rendezvous, not so
much.
