That x∊y in APL acts as if x∊,y is "original sin" from APL\360, and is an
obstacle to extending the definition of ⍳ (i. in J) to higher-ranked left
arguments.

In modelling e. you can not just apply <"_1 to both arguments.  You can
apply <"r where r is <:#$y, but the left argument can have rank > 1+r.
