That's a problem that pops up a lot; I was thinking there would be two 
keywords in cases like these - Duty_def and Duty_obj. The first marks 
rules that define what a Duty is; the second marks rules that describe 
specific duties.

I don't think it would be hard to write a little script that showed all 
rules with either if you asked simply for 'Duty'.
