+//
+// if none of its actions have an `after` directive set:
+// no action will be replayed.
+//
+// else (if at least one action has an `after` directive set):
+// if reaction stops while `after` actions are pending:
+// and reaction starts again while those actions would still be pending:
+// reaction executes the past actions (actions without after or with then+after < now)
+// and plans the execution of future actions (actions with then+after > now)
