Link-deduplication multi-connector issue

          Heh.

@MXs actually mean "connect to one or more MXs

Yes it does. I was wrong; I misremembered. I was so used to seeing {@MXs} that I forgot the true meaning of "one or more"!

The following rewrites are wrong:

  • hCO @hCO to @hCO because the former is "two or more", the later is one or more.
  • @MX @MX to @MX is wrong because the former is "two or more"

Thus, it would appear that my earlier insistence that "they are the same" (in https://github.com/opencog/link-grammar/pull/1396#issuecomment-1404555697 and other comments) is wrong.

And now that I see the error of my ways ... what to do? The disjuncts differ, but they give the same parse ... Hmmm .... perhaps you are correct, these should be considered to be different.

.. Should I patch this? Do you want to patch this?
