Truth be told, I had sort of forgotten sets exists because they're a bit cumbersome at the moment. But it's cheap and dead simple and gets us our 90% immediately. Actually, it gets 100%, even, if you can include a set as part of another set (implication) and symlinks function as aliases.

Thank you for noticing the third path. While I still don't really believe categories to be necessary, this will be a fine intermediate step. Cheers, Wyatt
