At this point, I think it's time to stop adding stuff to log --debug and
only add stuff to the available templates. If you want to add a new
template for --style, great.

I was confused here because there was no node. Is babar a symbolic id?

No, it's a username. Names like "precede-to" are extremely awkward to
the English ear. In fact, you'll basically never hear "precede" except
as "X precedes/preceded Y" as otherwise it's too similar to the much
more common "proceed", meaning the opposite. Stick to
"predecessor/succesor", please.
