I was actually using rephrasings such as
   -/ .(*&([smoutput))
and
   -/ .(([smoutput)@:*)
and
   -/ .(([smoutput)@*)
to count how many times multiplication was occurring.

So I am not talking about any special code used for -/ .* -- I have
not investigated that -- but instead am using -/ .* as an illustration
of how . builds monadic verb definitions in the general case.

Anyways, . terminates earlier than DET.
