What?! It never crossed my mind to actually use those predicates.
Good thing that the plan failed, then. They were presented in
jboske to show, among other stuff, that what had been perpetrated
upon poor {sisku} could be done to any place of any other
predicate. And it wouldn't involve just duplication, but
exponentiation: klama for example, with 5 places, would have
32 versions, the most changed one with all five places altered:

"Something with property x1 goes to place with property x2
from place with property x3 via route with property x4 by
means with property x5."

Happily, that is not quite the shift I am suggesting; even {sisku} needs some rewriting.
