Attributes vs Overloads

I should set my terminology7 before I mix myself up too much. From now on, overloads are overloads on the predicate, actually make the link field overloaded. The domain over which the overload appears are the proper object for the overload. An attribute is something a client tags on bound object. The object may or may not know it has been tagged, I dunno, looking at that now.

So is MangoDB and Freebase, by the way, looking at this issue this very moment. The industry will solve it. But external tagging an existing dgraph segment with a property is important to the client, it has to be solved.
