What would you call a fact that is inserted once and the conflict set<br>
computed (the rules that can fire). The fact is then retracted so no<br>
more matches can take place, but the conflict set itself is allowed to<br>
fire (assuming their other facts remain true).<br>
<br>
I think this is quite a common use case and most users will handle this<br>
via a lower salience and retracting the fact manually, but I think it's<br>
useful enough to build in as a keyword on type declaration. We just need<br>
a name for it :)<br>
