again, the antonym syntax.
Could I suggest this syntax (which is already present in a few cases).
There are several reasons: one is to make the English unambiguous
(i.e. right is opposite of left, not opp. of wrong). direct is opposite of
indirect, not to direct traffic. "opposite" is simpler English than
"antonym".
