I agree that it might be worth having, but I'm a bit unsure about whether
it makes sense for the [reifier] property to contain another topic.
Shouldn't the topics be merged instead? Or is the reason that they are
not *automatically* merged that the TMDM does not impose merging unless
the application really want to?
