I don't see the : line as being lost when I type in Y.  (It's in Y, not the 0 : 0 part).

I notice that the 0 : 0 seems to go unused, since it is the v argument to the conjunction Y.

If you still think there is a problem, give an example of how to produce the error.

While working on the Y combinator rosettacode entry (

), I ran into what looks like a bug.

If I write the combinator this way:

Y=:2 :0(0 :0)
   f=. u (1 :n)
   (5!:1<'f') f y
)
:
   g=. x&(x`:6)
   (5!:1<'g') u y
)

I get a domain error when I try to use it, because that : line gets lost.

It's present when I inspect the 0 :0 result, but it vanishes from the
5!:1 generated result.

It looks like the code is trying to simplify for the 4 :0 case, even
though it turns out that that is not relevant.

Thanks,
