After taking a closer look, I see that at least pvPutComplete seems to exist 
in seq-2.0.11, although it is undocumented.

So am I right in assuming that the standard solution is to pvPutComplete 
inside the condition of a when-clause? (This could become tedious if you 
want to issue many such pvPuts in sequence, where each one should only be 
issued after teh one before is complete -- you'd need as many additional 
states as pvPut actions in the sequence, right?)
