Roles:

        Verbnet predicts an instrumental subject. They also bring thedistinction between agent and instrument down to intentionality, whichwe've been trying to avoid. If you feel you can consistently makethat decision, go ahead; otherwise only use arg2 when there is also anarg0.
       
        ADJ note: not sure an instrument distinct from a destroyer is possible with adj. Where there is just a "causer" default to arg0. (from destroy.01-v)
        Arg0-PAG: destroyer (vnrole: 44-agent)
        Arg1-PPT: thing destroyed (vnrole: 44-patient)
        Arg2-MNR: instrument of destruction (vnrole: 44-instrument)
