I think most (if not all?) people have agreed on the "Subject" side of
the split. So what is really being chosen is the other side -- but, as
I've argued, there's some conflation of what that role actually does ...
because it seems, at least to me, to be different in different use
cases. This is the main source of tangling IMO.
