It is only needed for broken circular dependancies, which we don’t

Ok that is not what the draft says. It says you must include sibbling
glue, no matter what. Setting TC=1 if you include sibling glue and it 
can not
fit it is something different. That probably makes sense for all 
referall
where glues don’t fit.
