I have a variable, fee, which might have shape
N,2  or just 2.  I want a function that converts
fee when it has shape 2 to shape 1 2.

It seems straightforward: if the rank is 2,
make no change, if 1, apply ,:

So something like ,:`]@.(<:@$^:2) should
do the trick. Indeed, this works:

   $ ,:`]@.(<:@$^:2 fee) fee=:'ab'
   1 3

But when I try to define something to do
what I want, I get lost.

    ,:`]@.(<:@$^:2) fee=:'ab'
    |rank error
    |       ,:`]@.(<:@$^:2)fee=:'ab'
        ,:`]@.(<:@$^:2 ]) fee=:'ab'
        |domain error
        |       ,:`]@.(<:@$^:2]) fee=:'ab'
            ,:`]@.((<:@$^:2)@: ]) fee=:'ab'
            |rank error
            |       ,:`]@.((<:@$^:2)@:]) fee=:'ab'


            
 (I'll spare you more)

 I must be missing something obvious.
