	// The algorithm below relies on determining whether one splice "comes before" another, and whether the splices coming from the two diffs remove/add precisely the same elements. Unfortunately, the Golang zero-value for types.Splice (which is what gets read out of a/bSpliceChan when they're closed) is actaually a valid splice, albeit a meaningless one that indicates a no-op. It "comes before" any other splice, so having it in play really gums up the logic below. Rather than specifically checking for it all over the place, swap the zero-splice out for one full of SPLICE_UNASSIGNED, which is really the proper invalid splice value. That splice doesn't come before ANY valid splice, so the logic below can flow more clearly.
