container-props

Type(s): Issue

Description
- Distinguish between properties which have containment semantics, and those which are references?
Opinion
- yes we should distinguish. We have already stated that we define structural constraints and operations. Thus something like remove perhaps should be discussed. Perhaps only informatively - but the structural constraint that there can be no floating names once a topic has been deleted should hold normatively. - Scope: Graham Moore
Resolution
- Don't distinguish between such properties.
