Generalities may spur the imagination, but to use _. we would need a
detailed spec for what every verb would do given indeterminate input.
Where would it appear in the collating sequence?
If _. doesn't match _., how would I find the number and location of _.
values in an array?
The fact that Roger didn't find a way to integrate _. into the language
should put us all on warning that the problem is very hard.

To be honest, I’m a bit confused by the stated difficulty.
The mathematical properties of _. (or, generally speaking,
indeterminate values) are rather confusing:
Since _. is not necessarily equal to _. it's difficult to reason about
arrays which contain this "value".
