The patch looks really good and ready to merge. But one thing I'd like
to see changed. I understand why you called this "StoppedBy", but I'd
rather avoid that term, since it sounds too "active" to me, i.e. as if
this was something that already happened, rather something that just
explains relations.

So, I'd like to propose to name this "PartOf", which i think is a pretty
describing name too, but doesn't sound this "active" to me.

Kay, Michal, do you agree? What name would you propose?

Thanks,

Lennart
