Re: Issue 1102 Proposal

I am sorry I am catching up with this so late. Anyway
I have started perusing all mails and found this.

in conclusion I fully agree with Gary --- having activity
there instead of workunit looks the best and simplest
option: appropriate behaviours of finalizer, for which some
restricted form MAY be practically enough (and be needed
for verification) can come later: now let's set it to be
as general as possible.

I find introduction of finaliser, completion, isolation
and related mechanisms enriching CDL substantially. As far
as basic consistency is there, the generality should be
preferred rather than restriction.
