Interrupt-and-return = the first-class ability to pull a job back. A job that has already been programmed or delivered can be brought back in, changed, reposted, and the operator resumes where they left off — losslessly, with nothing re-entered. Ruled first-class at the sitting (not an edge case): shop reality is that jobs get interrupted, and "our software wraps itself around their workflow".
