It isn't clear to me from https://github.com/quoll/asami/wiki/4.-Transactions#temporary-ids whether temporary IDs must be negative longs or what are the requirements. Anyone knows? 🙏

Negative integer values

When the transaction process sees a negative integer as an ID, it allocates a new node, and maps that number to the node. Thereafter, if it sees that number again, it knows that you're looking for that node. At the end of the transaction, one of the things returned is a map of those negative numbers to the nodes that were allocated for them

Perhaps this is a dumb question but if a transaction creates a new entity and also wants to add a reference to it to another entity, how does Asami know - in the face of having not schema - that the reference attribute value is actually a reference and not just a value? Does it automatically interet something like {:db/ident -1} as a reference and replaces it with the actual entity id? Example:

{:tx-data [[-1 :child/name "Joe"]
           [-1 :child/age 0]
           [#a/n 12 :parent/children {:db/ident -1}]]} ; <-- how to refer to the new child?
