But hasn't the earlier part of this series made sure that asking has_object() without an extra flag would make it say "no" if the object that we know we can obtain is kept in our promisor remote to be lazily fetched? Or am I missing some other mechanism to make sure that somebody does any necessary lazy fetching of an object before we point our refs at it? Thanks.
