	// needs to bounce soon anyway, and it *could* communicate that fact back via
	// an error over a channel back into context.Get; the StartFunc could then
	// just return (say) that ErrResourceChanged and avoid the hassle of creating
	// a worker. But that adds a whole layer of complexity (and unpredictability
	// in tests, which is not much fun) for very little benefit.
	//
	// In the analogous scenario with snapshotted dependencies, we see a happier
	// picture at startup time:
	//
	//  * Install manifold A; loop starts worker A
	//  * Install manifold B; loop starts worker B with empty resource snapshot
	//  * A communicates its worker back to loop; main thread bounces B
	//  * B's StartFunc asks for A, gets nothing, returns ErrMissing

	// components that may be impacted by such a strategy will be those workers
	// which still want to run (with reduced functionality) with some dependency
	// unmet.
	//
	// Those may indeed suffer the occasional extra bounce as the system comes
