I disagree. This does not belong in _Lojban for Beginners_. This 
belongs in Chapter 1 of _Lojban for Intermediates_. In fact, this 
kind of thing (and how gadri and quantification work in general) 
would be one of the major things to cover in such a text.

Btw, yes, I am sort of saying I may work on _Lojban for 
Intermediates_ one day. But not this year.
