+> And it [[!taglink also_reminds_me|pagespec_in_DL_style]] of [[!wikipedia description logics]]: of course, given the relation `subpage` one could write a description-logic-style formula which would define the class of pages that are ("existentially") in a given relation (`subpage` or `inverse(subpage)*subpage`) to a certain other class of pages (e.g., named "blah") ("existentially" means there must exist a page, e.g., named "blah", which is in the given relation to the candidate).
