I think that's a great idea. It accomplishes the goal of having "Pan-=
" clades
even better than having to individually define each one, and is not d=
isruptive
with prior usages.

I may be getting ahead of things here, but it would also be a good wa=
y to
define other types of taxonomic entities besides clades, should the c=
ode ever
come around to covering them as well. For example:

Non-; prefix; Non-S =3D {x \in Organisms | x =AC\in S} | S \in Clades
