What if some of those user-defined relationship
types are supposed to confer subjects on some of
their role players?  How do we tell when such
subjects are the same, and therefore must be

* that a user could define an association type
whose instances determine the subjects of one or
more their role players, and
* that more than one topic may thus have conferred
upon it the same subject, and
* that therefore such topics need to be merged.
