Sure, but the question is, does it reduce efficiency *unacceptably*, and I
can't answer that.

In the next step, if we ask for a D and it's found in B, we get:

(A o (B o C)).D => (B o C).D o (A o (B o C)) => ((D o B) o (B o C)) o (A o
(B o C)) => (D o (B o C)) o (A o (B o C))

instead of

((A o B) o (B o C)).D => (A o B).D o ((A o B) o (B o C)) => ((D o B) o (A o
B)) o ((A o B) o (B o C))

The search order with simplification is D, B, C, A (containment first),
while without it's D, B, A, C (just plain weird).

Cheers,
