I suspect that we would need to update this part, as the order of
"fall back" was swapped sometime in the recent past (and we have
fixed a few bugs that were introduced as fallouts).

Your description on how -3 works when it does the three-way based on
the concrete example was very clear and easy to understand, by the
way.

Thanks for writing it up.
