that works (i.e., this code) and move on to a different (better?) model
later.

"small" change now, i.e. before merging Nicolas' code.
Yes, please!!!
Guys, this is a very interesting discussion and we should pursue it;
there is a whole research area to explore. But I believe we should
really do that elsewhere. Here, we have a well defined task, namely to
devise a plan to finalize this ticket as soon as possible. There is a
lot of code that has been waiting for the features way too long, and
it's blocking the work of several developers. We also have a long
backlog of further important developments around categories
(morphisms, ...).
The core question is what absolutely needs to be done *now* ?
- Writing that last section in the documentation of axioms describing
the current core algorithm. I still have 2-3 hours to spend on
it. Hopefully that will be done tomorrow. Worst case by Monday.
- Reviewing the documentation of axioms. Jean-Baptiste already did
some proofreading, but another pass is needed, especially for the
latest sections. Who can take care of this?
- Deciding whether we want to keep the latest experimental changes by
Simon in the current branch.
- Merging in my branch, with or without Simon's changes
- Rerunning all tests
- What else?
Thanks!
Nicolas
