Much to Donal's chagrin, I'm with him here. If you can ask "what is?" of
any element of an EP and get an answer, then the EP ain't EPal. I suggest
that 'is' is the only EP. Bill Clinton would disagree and maybe Monica,
too. But I don't know how to analyse 'is', and I think that's the final
word on that.
