good. but "att.partial" is an unfortunate name, as "partial" has
meaning not related to this use of "part".
"att.parted" is better (and like att.typed), but even more
unfortunate in some ways

you could cut this Gordian knot by inventing att.subtyped
as a member of att.typed, moving @subtype to att.subtyped,
and moving the existing members of att.typed to att.subtyped.
It would be a little tedious, but clearer.
