We had concluded that makeProxy ( http://wiki.erights.org/wiki/
Proxy ) is a safe object.
I now notice that authority to define a proxy handler is authority to
distinguish E.send from E.sendOnly on the proxy.
Is this acceptable?
I had understood that it is intended that <- is optimized to sendOnly
when the result is not used; if so, then either the conditions for
this optimization must be well-defined, or makeProxy must be unsafe.
