- The TM-ish style adds some syntactic noise to functions / predicates
Yes. IMHO this is an important point, and it's why I'm opposed to
this. This is a real downside, and the benefits to using CTM are
negligible for the users of TMQL.
- Slower to parse
I don't think we really care about this. Parsing speed is unlikely to
be a serious challenge for TMQL, and in any case I think you'd find
it hard to prove that the CTM syntax really is slower.
- Scope?
The examples I've seen so far are all in the unconstrained scope.
What happens if the type-instance relationship is scoped? Under
which conditions are the functions / predicates are executed?
Argh! It would be nice if we didn't have to think about that.
