Hi,
During schema introspection I need to know from what super-type (if any) every field came from.
E.g.
```auto
define
name sub attribute, value string;
description sub attribute, value string;
supertype sub entity, owns name;
subtype sub supertype, owns description;
```
When I do `match $x sub entity; $x owns $attr;` the result doesn’t seem to have the information from what super-type `name` or `description` came from. Is there a native way to find it?

To clarify, you are trying to find the supertype of the `name` and `description` attribute types?
You can do
```auto
match $type sub entity, owns $attr-type; $attr-type sub $attr-super-type;
```

Not really that. I want to find that:
- `subtype` has two attributes, `name` and `description`
- attribute `name` has come from the `supertype`
- attribute `description` is its own attribute

We should extend the language with `owns!` which would help resolve this pretty quickly!
However in the meantime:
```auto
match $x sub entity, owns $attr-type; $x sub $super-owner; $super-owner owns $attr-type; not { $super-owner sub! $super-super-owner; $super-super-owner owns $attr-type;};
```
In other words, find the ownership, then find a supertype that also has the ownership, such that it doesn’t have a supertype that also owns the attribute-type.
