Actually if it's just a name generator (like Raul's refname),
it can be a dyad, not necessarily a conjunction.

   ref=: 4 : 'x,''_'',(":>y),''_'''

   100 ('v1' ref 'abc')~ ('n1' ref 'abc')~
223

Verb allows additional operations

   ((;:'n2 n3 n4') ref&.> <'abc')=: i.3
   ((;:'n2 n3 n4') "[EMAIL PROTECTED]&> <'abc')
0 1 2


Conjunction is necessary, when a value is deferenced.

   at=: 2 : '(m,''_'',(":>n),''_'')~'

   'n1' at 'abc'
123
   100 'v1' at 'abc' 'n1' at 'abc' 
223
   
This will not allow assignment, but it conceils
the redirection.
