I guess it's true as they say that "syntactic sugar causes cancer of  
the semicolon". :-)

Anyway, it *would* be more consistent.

The result would be something like this:

   ctm isa syntax; - "Compact Topic Maps Notation";
     homepage: http://www.isotopicmaps.org/ctm/ .

   is-defined-by(defined: ctm, definer: iso);
   tmcl:isAbstract(syntax);

My knee-jerk reaction was that it was a horrible idea. Trying it out  
with an example makes me less certain. I want to chew on this a bit.
