I went back and forth on this, but I was originally trying to balance
some goals that I've since abandoned.

Note that a syntax object can have multiple certificates, so it's not
all-or-nothing. Probably it would be useful to characterize the result
as one of three possibilities: all certificates (possibly zero)
transferred, some certificates transferred and others (at least one)
blocked, or all certificates (at least one) blocked.

I think the docs for `syntax-recertify' imply the current behavior, but
they could be clearer.

Perhaps the right solution is to add three continuation-proc arguments
to `syntax-recertify' to give the programmer control over the three
different cases.
