Which would be me.
And as far as I recall atm, that was in response to making:
$ 6 'dd "foo" ~ any(1,3,5) ~ "bar"'
any("foo1bar", "foo3bar", "foo5bar”)
work. If that shouldn’t work, or work differently, it can be ripped out /
replaced. If that should work, then we need to look at fixing -put-.

FWIW, I would also expect it to junct.
