Description

The spec just says:

A value of true indicates that this 'terminate' request is part of a restart sequence.

It is not clear what this means, exactly - the term restart sequence is not defined anywhere. It seems like it is connected in some way to "restart" request, but it's not clear how they all interact.

(#73 is possibly related)
