When I first saw this behaviour, I thought it was a bug.
However, after thinking about it a while, it does make a kind of sense.
After all, the sentence
 f"(-r) a
behaves like
 f"(-r)"_ a

With this reasoning, + b. should return _ _ _ because +"0 is
equivalent to +"0"_

It can't know the actual rank to apply to f without actually first seeing
the ENTIRETY of its parameter(s), in order to determine the virtual rank

What is "it"?  Anyways, with b. returning _ _ _ you cannot determine
the actual rank to apply to f, even when you know all the parameters.
(Well, unless I investigate f's definition, but that seems complicated.)
