Ah.  I didn't mean that kind of "intent".  I rather meant as in the
examples I just posted, not x3 intends to act, but x3 intends x1
to mean/be x2, or x3 intends x1 to be an instance of x2, or
x3 intends x1 to be a prototype for x2, or something of the sort.

Another example: This message is intended to be posted to two
mailing lists by me.
