The following expression:
       (1 + i. 2 2) $ 9

has an answer that involves both noun rationing and result filling...

RATIONING: (1 + i. 2 2) is a rank-2 array. However the left argument of $
(Shape) is rank-1, therefore Shape will be called with 1 2 $ 9 and 3 4 $ 9
and the results are then filled....

FILLING: 1 2 $ 9 creates a rank-2 array with shape 1 2 however 3 4 $ 9
creates a rank-2 array with shape 3 4. So is the filling of these two
results done in the verb and the style of filling peculiar to Shape? Or can
one expect this same sort of filling for any verb which rations the noun
into the verb?


   (1 + i. 2 2)
1 2
3 4
   1 2 $ 9
9 9
   3 4 $ 9
9 9 9 9
9 9 9 9
9 9 9 9
   (1 + i. 2 2) $ 9
9 9 0 0
0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0

9 9 9 9
9 9 9 9
9 9 9 9
