If you read carefully upthread, you should note that everything I've
stated in this thread is about MY experience and MY usage scenarios,
which I have been careful to qualify as such.

What makes you think I've extrapolated anything? The parts where I try
to provide the rationale for the behaviour I outline?

Tobias seems to recognize that the `other's usage scenarios' are results
of miscoding and/or not understanding how restart contours work.

Because of consistency, you always want to invoke the innermost restart
with 0. This is not always Q.
