Note I'm still keen that in general we keep the flow such that we do allocate()/register()/get() as there is no guarantee that the get() will never do anything that requires the trigger to be registered, even though that is true today. Which is another way of saying I'm still keen we fix up any cases that sneak in after your fix up set dealt with the current ones. Thanks for following up on this! Jonathan
