   7 If there are a relationship `foo', property-name `->foo' means a value
   8 of the property is a `foo' of the defined character.  Likewise,
   9 property-name `<-foo' means the defined character is a `foo' of each
  10 value of the property.

  13 character ?a specified in the property is a lowercase of the defined
  14 character ?A.

  23 Type of property `->foo' or `<-foo' are list of ``char-ref''.  The
  24 type char-ref is defined by following definition:
  25
  26    char-ref = character | char-spec | char-property-list
  27
  28 The type ``char-property-list'' is a property-list.  In the
  29 property-list, some keys are defined in the specification.  Following
  30 list describes meaning of keys:
  31
  32   :char
  33         Required.  It indicates a character.
  34         [type] character | char-spec
  35
  36   :sources
  37         Optional.  It indicates a source of the relation.
  38         [type] list of symbols
  39
