Hmmm. I was just exersising it, as the most "elegant" resolve to my case:
1. I have a shopping chart with items
2. which (conditionally) turns into an invoice on chart deletion.
3. the assumption is: the chart is not very rigouroiusly checked during
its lifetime.
4. but the invoice have to .... so some "cleanup" is due just before an
item is deleted from the chart.
But, I understand that as of now, I cannot do that by "trigger
avalanche" :(
