Hmm... the first three only use a: where I was thinking of n as
a positive integer scalar.
That said, the Collatz_Conjecture does use ^:(i.50) which could
have been ^:(<50). And, of course, the last one does have an
example of ^:<x where x takes on the values 20, 30 and 40.
Anyways... ^:a: seems to be the useful case for ^:(<x) --
it seems a more concise way of expressing ^:(<_). The ^:(<n)
cases, where n is a positive, finite integer, seem to be mostly
just as easy to express using ^:(i.n) -- thought possibly the <
notation is better than the i. notation in some cases.
Does this match your thinking?
