Sorry, but I completely fail to understand what that's supposed to |

mean. Where does the ! come from? |

Exist and valid are two different things, which is the whole issue |
| 18 |
here. With the restriction we can validate without checking for |
| 19 |
existance, without it we'd have to rely on existance to check if |
| 20 |
something is a valid atom or a valid CPV. |
