The problem, here, in my opinion, is that integrate is
defined as a conjunction when it should be defined
as an adverb.

   *: integrate 0 1
0.333333 14

Since its definition is explicit, it makes sense to me that
a fix would need to deal with an explicit definition.

That said, integrate currently does allow you to
pass the bounds of integration as a constant function
or random function:

  *: integrate (0 1"_)
0.333333 14

But this seems like a useless feature, and one best avoided.
