(Per my thread recollection)
  Raul mentioned that both valences should show.
  Ian hoped for a correct solution 95% of the time.

This particular verb is interesting as a dyad because bond causes
repetition.  Would we expand as some awful for. loop?

foo_explicated=: 3 : 0
        NB. ((+/) % #) @ ((,&1)"1)
u=: 3 : '(+/ y) % (# y)'        NB. [rank: _ _ _]   (+/) % #
v=: (3 : 'y , 1')"1             NB. [rank: 1 1 1]   (,&1)"1
w=: u@v                         NB. [rank: 1 1 1]   ((+/) % #) @
((,&1)"1)
w y

:

u=. 3 : '(+/ y) % (# y)'        NB. [rank: _ _ _]   (+/) % #
v=. ((,&1)"1)   NB. difficult to explain here. ************
w=. u@v
x w y
)
