    <!--  
      the include by enumeration simply lists a set of codes with no structure
      
      we're going to introduce a hierarchy. There's 5 possibilities, each shown in this
     
      complex example:
       1. the grouper we are introducing isn't in the code system
       2. The grouper matches a concept in the code system, which is in the value set
         a, it isn't abstract
         b. it is abstract
       3. The grouper matches a concept in the code system, which isn't in the value set
         a, it isn't abstract
         b. it is abstract

      1# we introduce a category for concepts for (most common)
       * (most common)
          + login (also below)
          + conflict (only here)
       
      #2a we replicate processing as a structure. it's not abstract
        * processing
          + duplicate, not-found

      #2b we replicate invalid as a structure. it's abstract
        * invalid
          + structure, required, value
 
      #3a we replicate transient as a structure. it's not abstract (but not in the value
     set)
        * transient
          + lock, exception, tbrottled

      #3b we replicate security as a structure. it's abstract (but not in the value set)
        * security
          + login | unknown

      please, no argument about whether this a good domain example; the point is illustrate
     the method
