Re: Ev2 using move-away and move-here

My intention is to present possible designs for Ev2, and allow us to consider which we prefer.  In particular, we need to decide how important it is to adhere to each of the principles including:

  - the Once Rule
  - avoidance of temporary paths (closely related to Once Rule)
  - alter-dir ("final set of children = {...}") before altering dir's children
  - sequential modification

since different designs may trade off one of these against the others.

No, we didn't come up with an actual solution, we came up with an idea that *might* lead to a solution -- it felt like it should.  My gut feeling is it doesn't play well with the Ev2 principles, but I am still going to explore that idea further as a possible alternative and present either how it could work or why it couldn't.
