In Tom Breton's AllNoun:
.remember m^ (ant m^:name) ) count:zero.
Or if you allow 'nothing/nobody' as a word:
.remember nobody (ant m^:name.
In MostlyNoun version 0.1, a work in progress as of last night:
remember with as-agent nobody as-patient name with as-owner ant
MostlyNoun is going to try to take the basic idea of AllNoun and
wean it of reliance on punctuation, and move it towards pronounceability,
at the cost, perhaps, of inserting some prepositions/case-markers
and losing some generality.
