That's precisely why we have boxes. Loose typing, the wave of the future!
Sorry, old (as opposed to red) hat: 3 decades and running.
just not the same semantics on the element A
The semantics are consistent: the whole left argument is catented to the
whole right
Sure. made no comment in that area.
argument, then pp is applied between the items of the result. That is, A
is treated precisely the same as the result of, say 2 pp A or 4 pp 3 pp 2
pp A .
The only thing "special" about A is that it's an initial condition.
Sorry. Not so: I listed all*** of the conditions that
apply differently between the factor strea and the
argument being factored.
Now, granted, _another_ problem
_could_ use this generalized solution and
_not_ have these properties
however: the sieve of Eratosthenes _does_ have those properties.
So: IMOMHO the two constitute sufficiently distinct "entities" to warrant
such a cleave.
