| Perhaps it is possible to overload elt as follows:
| 
|   elt: (%,1) -> A
|   elt: (%,2) -> B
| 
| I have seen such use of constants as domains elsewhere in FriCAS such as
| 
| elt: (%,"left") -> %
| elt: (%,"right") -> %
| 
| in aggcat.spad.pamphlet.

It is a usage that I would like to see abolished from OpenAxiom.
Apart from being esthetically challenged, it adds needless complexity
to modemap selection.
