Right! Thus: If the symbol looks like an arrow then it should point from right
to left:
A <| { }
A <~ { }
If it is loosely reminiscent of subset or superset then it should be “is
superset of”.
A :> { }
One might also be able to reuse the `super` keyword from super references:
A super { }
The we might need new terminology such as "is super-object of”.
