partial equivalence relation
(PER) A relation R on a set S where R is symmetric (x R y => y R x) and 
transitive (x R y R z => x R z) and where there may exist elements in S for 
which the relation is not defined. A PER is an equivalence relation on the 
subset for which it is defined, i.e. it is also reflexive (x R x).
