Relations API - query generation and TODO

OK, I was talking, talking, writing, fuming - here is some code. Please comment. I need some feedback. I need help as well - to make this better. The file is attached to this post.

Some explanation is probably needed, or I might end up scoring even higher mad hatter points. My previous scribbles on relations give background on my thoughts on this. So I won’t be repeating them. The goal is to produce an api, which can be used to form predicates, essentially queries on various related things. One and the same relation can be used in many ways. For example in a simple triple - (subject,predicate,object) or (left,relation,right), we can have four different questions - the free variables being subject and object. Things get more complicated when you consider relation tuples with a length more than two. This is the main reason to try and create a query generator.

Now some implementation details. The RFS() function. The parameter passing is a bit awkward. It is not elegant, but I had to solve a particular problem there. Consider that the arguments can be generated using a different RFS function. Consider as well that $arg1 and $arg2 can be generated separately or as part of a single expression. There is a need to pass the arguments (signatures essentially) by name, so we can identify them properly, but the order is not guaranteed or even worse, the order and the number of arguments, as well as their shape can’t be known in advance. This leads to what I consider a not elegant, but workable solution. I would love to streamline that.
