| IMO occurrences and basenames should have the same structure. This
| includes occurrences having variants, basenames having type and
| basenames having locators. Whether they should be separate item types in
| SAM or not I'm not entirely sure about. Keeping them as two item types
| is probably ok.

True, but you can distinguish names from occurrences without
necessarily having two different item types. We might for example
create a PSI for the notion of "name", and then say that any name type
subtyped from this creates a name rather than an occurrence.=20

Whether we *want* to do this is another matter entirely, of course.
