   @dougmerritt
   a while ago, I think you asked me whether it was important to have an action queue with both push and append, like I made. I found so far that while I originally only-used-append, now I'm basically only-using-push (and generally resolving as fast as being pushed).
   I originally modelled this on VHDL, which has two useful notions of time passing:
   ~ signals, but also processes. It's not defined what "happens first" on a signal. But processes force an order in infinitesimal deltas.

     @dougmerritt is this difference unimportant because I'm running it single threaded, so everything is automatically time-ordered? What change happens that will make VHDL's spec of signals and processes matter?
