// A Grouping identifies opaquely a grouping of assertions.
// Pool uses it to label the intersection between a set of groups.
type Grouping string

// A pool helps holding and tracking a set of assertions and their
// prerequisites as they need to be updated or resolved.  The
// assertions can be organized in groups. Failure can be tracked
// isolated to groups, conversely any error related to a single group
// alone will stop any work to resolve it. Independent assertions
// should not be grouped. Assertions and prerequisites that are part
// of more than one group are tracked properly only once.
//
// Typical usage involves specifying the initial assertions needing to
// be resolved or updated using AddUnresolved and AddToUpdate.
// AddUnresolvedSequence and AddSequenceToUpdate exist parallel to
// AddUnresolved/AddToUpdate to handle sequence-forming assertions,
// which cannot be used with the latter.
// At this point ToResolve can be called to get them organized in
// groupings ready for fetching. Fetched assertions can then be provided
// with Add or AddBatch. Because these can have prerequisites calling
// ToResolve and fetching needs to be repeated until ToResolve's
// result is empty.  Between any two ToResolve invocations but after
// any Add or AddBatch AddUnresolved/AddToUpdate can also be used
// again.
