Changes (by goldfire):

 * keywords:   => Roles


Comment:

 That looks even more suspect -- my guess is that inferring a phantom there
 wouldn't be sound.

 Hopefully we'll have a worked out theory for roles and dependency in the
 next few months (there's active work going on here), but we're not there
 yet.
