It's kind-of a silly corner-case though, so perfectly understandable
that it isn't handled.

I meant "<->" to indicate that the link is bidirectional, not that the
relationship is in any way symmetric. I wasn't aware of any implication
of a symmetric relationship when using "<->", do you have a reference?
But I guess the different arrow notations in math are somewhat overloaded
and that someone at some point must have used "<->" to indicate a
symmetric relationship...

Thanks!
