As far as I can see it isn't. I first thought you were right, (hence
my previous reply, although I'm still not claiming this is something
original) but since Jim asked me about it I read it back, and as far
as I can tell they don't have a corresponding notion of syntactical
restriction which is pretty much at the core of the approach I'm
talking about. So could you give a concrete reference and maybe a
short explanationa of why you think it is the same?
