#straight_line  a line traced by a point traveling in a constant direction; a line of zero curvature; "the shortest distance between two points is a straight line"
  exclusion:  #curved_shape
  supertype:  #line.shape  a length (straight or curved) without breadth or thickness; the trace of a moving point
  subtype:  #perpendicular.straight_line  a straight line at right angles to another line
  subtype:  #asymptote  a straight line that is the limiting value of a curve; can be considered as tangent at infinity; "the asymptote of the curve"
  subtype:  #tangent  a straight line that touches but does not intersect a curve
