GCPM's ability is, for all intents and purposes, just a slight behavior variant on Regions. It would be more appropriate to reuse the machinery that Regions does. In particular, flow-from and flow-to should both accept running(<ident>) values in addition to their current values, which have the behavior that GCPM defines (one element per flow at a time, drawing from the flow doesn't exhaust it, can choose per-page which element placed into the flow to use). That would avoid the ambiguity, and merge the mental models of two very similar abilities (similar in author's minds, at least). ~TJ
