Trying to understand when an explicit verb is used in a  tacit form.

For example if I define v1 which is in a tacit form - does not have
reference to arguments but contains the explicit verb rplc.

 

v1 =: [: ". rplc&(LF;' ')

 

In this case what should  v1 be called - an explicit of tacit ?.

 

v2 =: v1 f.

 

If I now use f. to replace rplc in v1 then v2 is an explicit.

The advantage of using f. is that if rplc has no public names then v2 has no
public names.

This can be useful is removing public names in a verb.

 

Any comments to help with my understanding of tacits.

 

Regards

Bill Szuch
