Hmm. Through this whole discussion, I have been interpreting "shallow
arity" to mean the native concrete arity of the leftmost application. That
is always a simple (singleton) arity rather than an arity vector. I'm not
sure what is meant by the *maximum* shallow arity, so I'm not yet able to
use that term in a way that is consistent with you.

Aside: I'm disconcerted by using "shallow" and "deep" here, which are
generally associated with object graphs and pointer traversal. Perhaps I'm
just not seeing the connection.

So: can you define terms?

I can't believe you passed up the chance to play with Sakrete. It's really
fun stuff! :-)
