I think you meant (balancing the parentheses),

     *: ((+&)/(@({. , {:))) 3 4 5 6
45

which is a clever solution for the particular form  u@{. + u@{:  .  The
question is: Can you extend your refactoring approach to deal with other
more complicated forms (for example,   u@:(u@:{. + u@:{:)  , etc. )?  The
$: trick can deal with the latter form easily, but mind you, for instance,
the form  u^:_1@: (u@:{. + u@:{:)  would introduce further complications.
