It seems like the problem is that Catalogue manadic rank is one. I really can't see much use in passing it a table or higher rank of boxes. So what about changing its monadic rank to infinite? It seems to me that that would open up interesting possibilities, including as Henry wanted it to work in the first place. As of now the things being built restricted to numbers or letters. It would not affect anyone using it with a list of boxes as it would still work the same.
Is there any way to determine the rational for its monadic rank being one? On Mon, Jul 23, 2018 at 10:12 AM Henry Rich <[email protected]> wrote: > No. But no argument for doing so either.
