Ah - should've thought of > (I try to avoid ] so it wouldn't have occurred to 
me - but of course it's a compelling candidate now that you point it out).

I wonder if @ or @: would dominate all other primitives (or not, because we 
have fork and hook)?

I wonder if the answer would change significantly if we restricted ourselves to 
tacit, or to explicit?

I guess I'll go find out.    It'll be a good test drive for GTKIDE.  Which I'm 
loving so far, BTW.

My bets were on ] and >

I was inclined to think + is up there also.

But none of the verbs we have mentioned are in the top 2.  And
only one of them is in the top 5.
