Cases like this - where the pseudonym is a (collective) entity in itself -
would seem to be a good case for "member of" relationships - Henri Cartan
[is a member of] Nicholas Bourbaki as John Lennon [is a member of] the
Beatles.

A free-text pseudonym for each of the Bourbaki authors would mean there's
no easy way to connect them to that other element in future.
