Are we sure we want it running sequentially? is there any reason that doing something like Future.wait or [].wait would be bad?

I see. Makes sense.

I can understand that, but I now need to remember to use a specific notifier method. I also _need_ a notifier, even if it might not otherwise be necessary. Being...

As far as I'm concerned, a dependency change is more of a "dirty" as opposed to an "invalidate" and shouldn't forward A refresh is just an invalidate + read, so...

Perhaps simply adding an `ref.onInvalidate((bool isRefresh) {})` hook could be plenty. It doesn't actively encourage the pattern, but it does make it possible
