I think it has to be - but this raises in my mind the question of the meaning
of constructions such as {lo klama be ro da} and {lo klama be da},
or conversely how you talk about "all goers, irrespective of destination".
How does the quantification work inside a description?
I suppose {lo klama be ro da} must be one who goes to every destination,
and {lo klama be da}, assuming {da} is currently unbound, is one who goes
to some destination (no matter which). So the {da} becomes implicitly
bound *inside* the description, and {ro klama be da} are the members of
the set {x: exists(y): klama(x,y,...)}.
Is this right?
