Why, my dear Watson, we allow sequence numbering also on the error
probes. That way they logically interleave with end probes. Any end
probes with a larger sequence number will not be run and error probes
will. (An error that occurs during an error probe is actually easy to
handle: that probe handler will unwind, but subsequent ones can run.)
