----------------------
Debruised: a term applied more especially to an animal having an ordinary or 
other charge over it, which also extends over part of the field as well. It is 
more usual to blazon an ordinary thus treated as "surmounted by," though there 
does not appear to be any very definite rule followed as to the distinctive 
used of the two terms. It will be observed that this differs essentially from 
one bearing being charged with another, because in the latter case the 
sur-charge does not extend into the field.
  The terms "depressed" and "oppressed" seem to have practically the same signification as above.
  Another application of the word, but rarely and improperly used, is when a bend or chevron is broken.

Have implemented "debruised" but only for ordinaries. Also annulets can now be 
"one within the other" (any number). Other features a bit too difficult, but 
might come back to "embracing and depressing" one day...
