> Good question. I'd suppose that they should be parametrized by any (Abelian?) group on the weights/multiplicities, where (+) is the canonical one since we're talking about "negative" membership.

Any groupoid on the multiplicities would do, I guess.

As I wrote in my answer to Richard, max seems a better choise, as it nicely generalises mapping on sets.

Cheers,
