But what precisely would the seminatics be to avoid Russell's paradox. I
think you need to start with a ground set, AS IN map. Maybe the name needs

Fair comment. Indeed, if the DefMP proposal ever gets formalised along the
line of <FMP type="defining">, we could even consider <FMP type="alias">
as a simpled form for this case.
