Ah, when you said 'contract', I thought you meant something enforceable,
which the promise can't do (but private contracts could). That is, if
Murphy and I made a private agreement resulting in this PoA, but I abuse
the PoA outside of the bounds of the agreement, Murphy doesn't have any
legal recourse as far as I can tell.
