The argument for gerund"n is this:
All partitioning modifiers (/. / ;.n etc,) support cyclic gerunds. The
anomalous case is " which is the most basic partitioning modifier of all.
It should have been defined to support cyclic gerunds.
The proposal is to put it right without breaking any code. m"n when m
resembles a gerund and n is not _ will be very rare, perhaps nonexistent,
in actual code. For new code, m"_"n will work for any n.
