Subset inclusion lattice roles

SAF_SilRole is a collection of related C preprocessor symbols defined in saf.h.

Synopsis:

SAF_TIME: For sets specifying pieces of time

SAF_SPACE: For sets specifying pieces of space

SAF_PARAM: For sets specifying pieces of some arbitrary, user defined parameter space

SAF_SUITE: for sets specifying whole suites

SAF_ANY_SILROLE: Wildcard role for searching

Description: Every subset inclusion lattice defines pieces of some all-encompassing space in which those pieces live. For example, the lattice may be specifying pieces of the time-base, or pieces of space, or pieces of some user defined parameter space.

In future versions of SAF, this information will be supplanted by the quantity associated with the coordinate field for a given base space.
