For example: are the dyadic expressions (-&*:) and (-*+) equivalent? They
appear to be. Are there certain conditions where they are equivalent and
cases where they are not?

   3(-&*:)2 4 7
5 _7 _40

   3(-*+)2 4 7
5 _7 _40

Looks pretty good.

How about:

   2 3(-&*:)/4 5 6
_12 _21 _32
 _7 _16 _27

   2 3(-*+)/4 5 6
|length error
|   2 3    (-*+)/4 5 6

Looks like a problem here.

This fixes it.

   2 3(-*+)"0/4 5 6
_12 _21 _32
 _7 _16 _27

But I should be able to prove that this last expression is equivalent to the
first. Or prove that it is not. Without having to think of every possible
case.
