While I absolutely agree with you in principle, I think two of your
specific examples don't actually hold: both queens and near missess
will, I think, generally be universally present or not for the same
work above the treble. Other examples besides rollups off the front
that won't be are kings and back rounds (though I guess the latter is
just a specific example of a rollup off the front, or of a 4321).
