In step #3, when Alice's proxy for Carol's promise receives the WMR
message, it sees that its reactor argument is a proxy for an object of
Bob's. So, rather than forwarding the WMR message to Carol, the proxy
instead sends a notification to (Alice's proxy for) Bob's reactor,
with the argument on the notification being (Alice's proxy for)
Carol's promise. This is serialized as a Promise3Desc sent to Bob's
redirector.

But I know you already know all this, so I'm probably confused about
something. What am I missing?
