+*   under the name it arrives with — orphans by that name ruled it before it existed, so connecting it loosens nothing;
+* - every account the change removes, as if it were still here: the removal moves nothing, a rule loosened beside it
+*   does;
+* - every name a rule gives that no account has on either side, as an account connected under it later;
+* - any other account, `*`, which only a rule naming no account holds.
