Subject: [Jprogramming] Abusing adverbs

Hello.

   months=: adverb def 'm'
   years=: adverb def 'm*12'

   2 years + 3 months
27

I know there is #. for this kind of calculation but just wanted
experiment this idea of changing the word order.

Could it cause some problems in other cases, ie. could there be
problems if the result of applying an adverb returns something other
than a verb?
