Changes (by simonpj):

  * status:  new => closed
  * difficulty:  => Unknown
  * resolution:  => invalid


Comment:

 I think 7.0.4 had a bug. Consider
  * 'a' determines 'b'.  So if two instances have matching a's they must
 have matching b's.
  * The first intstance says that the second parameter must always match
 the first.
  * But it doesn't in the second instance declaration.

 This is one of the rules in Mark Jones's original paper.
