| Sorry, I do not know what "signature subsumption" means.  Could you explain?

As I said earlier, I have come to have a more fundamental issue with
this.  *If* the desired semantics is the current behaviour (I
do not take the position is that it is `God given'), then there is not
discussion about the transformation.  *If* the semantics is not desired,
then there is no discussion about the transformation either.
