Define "happy" ;-)
Strictly speaking, authority was not expanded because "* reorder-insert"
explicitly grants list extension. OK. Seems one should be very careful
with this one. I take it we allow:
[root-of-delegation] says
(tag springcleaning
(* reorder-insert (takeout trash recyclables)))
[delegatee] may then say
(tag springcleaning
(takeout trash recyclables stereo jewelry))
