+Inference example:

+Given
+airport_kb = kb.from_facts([
+    ('is', 'N29EO', 'Plane'),
+    ('at', 'N29EO', 'dia'),
+    ('is', 'N10IV', 'Plane'),

+    [('at', '?subject', '?object'),],
+    [('at', '?subject', '?current'),],
+    [('at', '?subject', '?object')])
+
+Should be able to do something like:

+Trying to define load which requires that both package and airplane are
+at the same place: how can this be expressed?
