<p>No, seriously, type names can't include round brackets because they are already used for labels in directed types e.g. "parent of (child of)".</p>
<p>The two alternatives I could think of:</p>
<ul>
<li>use some special character string e.g. "parent of ##!## child of" </li>
<li>save the opposite label information somewhere else</li>
</ul>
<p>But both alternatives would be problematic when loosing the context e.g. the data is imported/used in other systems.</p>
<p>However, since this is not obvious I documented it in the manual and added a link to the type overview.</p>
<p>As always, thanks for reporting!</p>
