// When the "ack" option _and_ flushing is used, there are a couple of strategies
// that can be used.  Here, the two options implemented are titled
// "SHOOT_FIRST" and "ACK_LATER".  If "SHOOT_FIRST" is #defined, then
// NormSetWatermark() is called immediately after each enqueued transmit
// object.  This call to "NormSetWatermark()" cancels any previous 
// watermark request, immediately advancing the "watermark" to the current
// transmit object id.  Generally, this is OK, but in very high bandwidth*delay,
// this may cause some dead air time since flow control might not be advanced any
// until the ack for watermark is received.  When SHOOT_FIRST is _not_ #defined,
// the NormSetWatermark() call is deferred if an existing flow control watermark
// request is pending acknowledgment.  This potentially allows the flow control
// to be advanced sooner instead of the sender "chasing its own tail" with the 
// SHOOT_FIRST strategy.  Both strategies are implemented here, because under
// certain cases, the SHOOT_FIRST _may_ have benefit. For example, low duty cycle
// transmission may benefit if acknowledgment is requested after each object.  
// Try them both, and you decide ...

// By the way, this SHOOT_FIRST/ACK_LATER only applies to the case when both
// the "ack" and "flush" options are used.  The "flush" option controls the
// NORM sender behavior when object objects are transmitted intermittently.
// I.e., determines if/when NORM_CMD(FLUSH) messages are sent prior to 
// final end-of-transmission (e.g., when a pause in transmission occurs).  
// This will be applicable when normCast gets a few additional options like
// repeat iterations of transmit file/directory list on user-controlled
// timer interval, etc.  For example, "flush active" means NORM_CMD(FLUSH)
// would be sent during such pauses, while "flush none" would result in
// sender immediately going silent at pauses in file transmission.

// Uncomment this to enable the "SHOOT_FIRST" strategy, as opposed to "ACK_LATER"
// #define SHOOT_FIRST 1

// I usually avoid using Protolib stuff for NORM API examples to keep things clearer,  
// but the couple of classes here are useful helpers from the Protolib C++ toolkit.
