I don't see any problem at all with recurring events still
being type "event" - each occurrence is non-persistent, which
is a kind of class property inherited by all the instances.
I also reckon that (when we get that far!) "recurrent" could
be considered as a very reasonable potential qualifier in a
refined or more structured set of definitions for "event",
much in the way that we earlier flagged the likelihood of
having "moving" for "image".
