  $lock.run => $lock.protect

The lock doesn't run anything, after all. It was named as such in a
vague attempt at consistency with Promise.run and Thread.run (as in,
"run this under the lock"), but those two are now .start, and having
$lock.start({ ... }) is most certainly wrong-sounding.

  [S17] unspec $*TICK

It's problematic in that it assumes a single global
scheduler. It also seems to punish the many for a
feature only benefiting the few.

There are preferable ways to handle this, perhaps
something like
Supply.interval(:at(now.ceiling), :every(1))

Discussed this with jnthn++ at APW 2013: basically, this should be a job of
the optimizer when it sees a .chop.
