I guess it would be handy to know what the promise is.
When I read it I think. "I promise to do these things if I see a process
matching proc." With the restart_class present I think, "raise this
class if no processes match" which I considered equivalent to classes
=> if_notkept("proc_not_running");
Thats probably not correct. Probably more correct to think of the entire
thing as the promise. And then it seems like the classes attribute isn't
a "first class citizen". So its not activated unless one of the primary
attributes signals the promises state change. Now im confused again :)
As Neil suggested, I think some additional clarification around promise
state behavior for each promise type would be good. And perhaps someone
can chime in here for some more clarification.
