"o" sorts before "p" so "of" should sort before "privacy"?

I guess it's not exactly all sorted, but this small section is. Since
it's arbitrary you could preserve the existing sorting. :-P

The fact that the example is only using "dumb" probers doesn't make it
quite as a compelling proof that the code will scale up. Any chance
you could add something that requires a bit more oomph? ;-)

FWIW if you didn't want to see your prober called over and over again
if one of the devices deferred you could just register one device per
type, right? Then each device would be able to defer separately. Dunno
if it's worth it but figured I'd mention it...


Also: as a high level comment, this all looks much nicer to me now
that it's parameterized. :-)
