Comments

  • This predicate is defined generally enough to encompass a few different meanings of the English word 'requires':

    1. To need something or to make something necessary.
2. To order or demand something, or to order someone to do something, especially because of a rule or law.
3. To make it officially necessary for someone to do something.

    Implementations requiring a more specific meaning should define subproperties.
