Hi Charlie,
this could be a future extension. Right now, I believe that most products
will not make this distinction - hence we need names for these. A natural
extension would then be the "due_to" construct:
"fire_area_due_to_smoldering_fires". However, these names should only be
proposed when someone really needs them.
Cheers,
Martin
