Thanks for this. It looks fairly good to me so far. I've pushed 1, 5
and 9 as trivially correct. As said in comments to 4, I feel like a
slightly improved 4 could also replace 2 and 3 at the same time. 6, 8
and 10 all have my R-b, though a comment as to why three is the
correct number of roundtrips wouldn't go astray on 10 (it seems right
to me, mind). Unfortunately I'm not getting far into 11 without my
eyes glazing over, and I haven't given 7 a pass over for actual
lifetime handling yet, but that at least gets my A-b.
Cheers,
Daniel
