The implementation should be changed, but not for
the reason you stated.   x (m&v) y  gives exactly
the same results whether  m&v  has ranks 0 _ or
_ _ .  The differences arise when  m&v  is composed
with other verbs, and in such situations unbounded
ranks are preferred.  (The same considerations
apply for u&n .)

Thanks to Sam Tardieu for finding and reporting
this error.
