Given the Dictionary's text for the entries,

Tie

and

Agenda
http://www.jsoftware.com/help/dictionary/d621.htm

My understanding is that the sentence,

   (;:'+/')@.0 1
+/

is legal (i.e., sanctioned by the dictionary).  You apparently think it is
not legal.  Why?

The following are two examples of code, not written by me, which would
become clearly illegal if, by definition, a gerund becomes just a list of
atomic representations of verbs (and would no longer run if it is enforced),
