Oops. Thought of another one. I think all the sequences generated by a
method (that's a general "method", no Greek letters required) need to
be non-empty. That is, every sequence generated by a method needs
to contain at least one change. This, of course, comes for free if
we eventually adopt the suggestion that every sequence must contain
at least one non-null change.
