also, in a potential future with some kinds of parallelism in pd, taking Fanout (rather than Trigger) as an explicit statement that the branches are not dependent on order of execution is quite interesting, and very consistent with the ideal that Fanout order is undefined. But that is a dream-space a long way off for pd as it is now.
Of course interpreting Fanout as allowing asynchronous execution of the branches is somewhat stronger than taking Fanout to mean what it currently does, which is that the branches can be completed in any arbitrary sequence.
