How about having each worker Swarm schedule a `recordResult:' on the
blackboard Swarm?  recordResult: could check to see if there is a full
batch of results and either do nothing, or commence a review.  The
review would result in new jobs being scheduled on each worker Swarm.

In other words, Schedule is the feature for synchronizing things in Swarm.
