Presumablt this exception should be extended to only returning it via
Receive.receive.

And in both cases it should be clear that this only applies to "things
going to the same comm stack", i.e., if you have 2 Send's, then you
must use clear if you don't know that they go the same stack.
Hopefully you should be able to switch between Receive and Send for
the same comm stack...
