RE: [sv-ac] new mantis item and proposal #1641

Hi John,

That is, $error being the task itself.  You last version in which the
task represents a truth value looks nice, but it almost circumvents the
need for action block. Also, if it is a property, does first match /
fail rule apply or all threads that reach that point at the same time?
What if they contradict each other?
