Remind me what is wrong with {mo} here, except it forces left grouping when 
you might want something rightward.  {xomoi} assumes (in words. if not in 
fact) that every concept has a place in a well-ordering so that we can call 
it up by number.  While the assumption is trivially true in most set 
theories, it is practically false for any language, so this is a rather 
misleading suggestion.
