ASASSN-16pm: indeed likely a polar

   The object is likely very faint (M_V = +7 in 2016 maximum,
although Gaia parallax is not very accurate).

   Tonny Vanmunster and Itoh-san reported time-resolved
photometry in 2016-early 2017.  The eclipses were structured,
suggesting eclipses of streams rather than a disk.

   Detailed observations during the next high state
are strongly encouraged.
