Earlier I had asked if
u c y -: (u c y)
I guess we found an example where that fails.
Fortunately, (for the case of my preprocessor)
('n') (pc 'n') [EMAIL PROTECTED] pv 'nil'
&(smoutput [EMAIL PROTECTED])
Is there a sentence with a partial sentence u c y,
where the following would not be the case?
u c y -: (u) (c y)
