What got me thinking about this was that I couldn't find decent
documentation about Capture literals in the synopses.

Are Capture literals going to replace or unify the "assuming"/"currying"

Re: Motivation for /+/ set Array not Match?

Out of curiosity, why not:

/ bar bar $:=(+)/

and then one can easily look at $.from and $.to, as well
as get to the arrayed elements?  (There are other possibilities as
well.)

I'm not arguing in favor of or against the proposal, just pointing
out that there are ways in the existing scheme to get at what is
wanted.


Indeed... Though what I'm wondering is, is there a hidden implementation
cost or design cost of making /+/ always behave such that  
$.from

returns something, compared to the current treatment with the workaround
you suggested?

Thanks,
Audrey
