*We should adopt a homogeneous way of treating all spaces and not rely on 
properties specific to a type of space. This does not mean that we cannot 
then prove the derivations specific to a specific space. If we adopt a 
homogeneous and standard way of defining all these spaces, it will be 
easier to memorize and manage. We will not have to check the details of the 
definitions for each structure.*
