Plain-Text Body

Absolutely, Gwendal.

We should merge one of the CurrentGroup proposals first. Ian is looking ahead; potential paths include:

1. Maintain the status-quo with JOINING FETCH (if you want >1 group)
2. Replace JOINING FETCH with REWIND, or a modified SUBSCRIBE that behaves like REWIND (ie. add Start_Group).
3. Remove JOINING FETCH. Subscribers would block on SUBSCRIBE_OK then FETCH groups older than the latest.

I would personally prefer option 2, but I'm also fine with anything. I think Ian would prefer anything but option 1 to simplify the draft.
