Doh, you are right Jeroen, I thought that Roman was talking about
Unidirectional Link (=primary building block), not about the Link
(=grouping).

(Clearly, my mind is still thinking in bidirectional links, not our
unidirectional links).

That said, I do no longer see the need for a (unidirectional) Path
object, as discussed at OGF30.
