Cool. :-)

Basically, the constraint allows for more powerful conflict  
resolution, or at least simpler code.  I'd certainly welcome a  
variation that removed the constraint, possibly in exchange for  
weaker conflict resolution, if you were willing to contribute it to  
zc.queue.

If you removed this constraint and added the constraint that it must  
be FIFO (zc.queue defaults to FIFO but allows arbitrary removal), you  
*might* be able to make another relatively simple variation.  I don't  
have time to think this through ATM; there are subtleties.
