Does it matter? I don't refer to this issue *at all* when working on n-ary. It has no useful content. But fine: """" N-ary datatypes seem both fragile and wrongly expressive (as compared, e.g., to dl-safe rules with built-ins)"""" They are not fragile (or no worse than transitive roles). They are rightly expressive (see use cases). (Some people still doubt the latter, but does this issue help organize that? I'm sure Boris will raise it if it is necessary.) """there are no built-in n-ary datatypes, nor a language for defining them. E.g., see:""" And that was just "it's a bluff" trash talking. We have a proposal for built-in types and a language for defining them. There are issues with all this, but those are more narrowly technical and are being handled anyway. > I'm confident we can find appropriate wording. It may the case that > closing it as something other than "resolved" is appropriate. I propose we close this as withdrawn with a reference to Jeremy's email. Close issue-53 as well along Ian's line. (Personally, I don't like stale issue and stale action items. At some point, they can get in the way.) Cheers, Bijan.
