Comment (by nthiery):

 I totally agree with the analysis!

 I don't know yet what would be the best name for the argument provided by
 the user to describe the relation. Behind the scene we are definitely
 modelling relation. But what the user provide is not the relation but a
 function that computes the (out) neighbors for this relation. If at the
 end of the day we choose "TransitiveClosure" as name for the main entry
 point, then "neighbors" would be consistent. If we go for "RecursiveSet"
 (or RecursiveEnumeratedSet or variant thereof) then "operators" would be
 consistent.

 Cheers,
                            Nicolas
