'`xxx' =: +`''
   4!:0 <'xxx'
0

I wanted a verb.  It seems pretty clear that I must want to use
atomic-rep assignment, since I put ` as the first character.  But
when there is only one name, it is left as a boxed noun.

Ye Dic could be interpreted either way, but isn't it clear that
it would be better for this to assign a verb?

[what I was doing was

'`verbname' =: (complex selector expression) { v0`v1`v2...

and my ugly workaround is

'`verbname verbname' =: (2 # selector expression) ...
