It might also be reasonable (and safer -- the user may not actually
realize when there's an ambiguating branch-point) to simply have it
abort with an error ("ambiguous future-ref specification") when
there's any doubt... I suspect most uses would be very simple "+1"
etc., and not crossing branch points.
