Just realized that my need is not possible to achieve using multiple
injection points in a row (or different types for the same injection
point) in a race-free way.

This is because I need to receive `notice` BEFORE the backend goes
into `wait` but ONLY AFTER it is guaranteed for WAKE_UP to be
successful.
Yes, the probability of such a race is really low, but still...

So, NOTICE should be sent at [0] while holding spin lock. What do you
think about adding an optional parameter to raise NOTICE with wait?
But it feels weird with the 'notice' type itself...

Any thoughts? Or just ignore that potential low-probability race +
some comments in the test?

Best regards,
Mikhail.
