    Similarly about partial-functions and total-functions and why
    many modern proof-assistants' accounts of functions of total
    are trivially refutable, similarly the account of why comprehension
    after the ordinary always introduces a schema, gives then a
    scaffold for the book-keeping of quantifier-disambiguation,
    instead of a ladder to be cast down after ascending a fixed-point.
