Am I correct in saying that the documentation for Fetch says nothing of
fetching from what is a train but what looks like a verb list. Some
experiments:
(0 {:: <:;];>:) 12

I'm not sure I understand the question. (Actually, I'm not
sure you're asking a question.)
That said, in this case, the left argument for {:: is a boxed
list of three integers
(<:;];>:) 12
+--+--+--+
|11|12|13|
+--+--+--+
0 {:: 11;12;13
11
Also, it might be worth noting that this is a train:
0 {:: <: ; ] ; >:
More specifically, it's a train of three forks:
0 {:: (<: ] (] ;>:))
When the left tine of a fork is a noun, it gets treated as a
niladic function.
Nothing about this (other than the use of {:: as the center of
the left-most fork) is specific to {:: -- that said, I don't know
where in the dictionary the n v v fork is documented.
