Yep. The posts leading to this one sparked my thinking that if the
events were posted by the same object, execute them sequentially: a
generalization of the above player-command case. Is such a
generalization necessary? The above case could be implemented in the
player object itself, queuing things and doling them out as
appropriate, rather than in the event-handling systems where the
generalization would be done.
One could use a sort of "super" event that is responsible for the
execution of a series of sub-events, and successful commit of the
super would occur when all the subs themselves committed.
Unfortunately, the potential for involving a large(r) number of
objects in that super event could cause a lot of failed commits until
this super event drove the thing to single-threading.

I'd certainly appreciate a look at it.
