~ Evoke can produce any kind of object, depending on the name given.
Some foreigns produce operators
(5!:0 returns an adverb; I thought there was one other but I can't find it).
Also, gerunds are noun-representations of verbs, and
can easily be formed by ` and 5!:1
But getunds can also be formed from operators.
These cannot be formed tacitly with `, but operators can
be assigned and then gerunds extracted via 5!:1, or
simple ones can be hand-crafted, as in the following examples.
Anything that can evoke verbs from gerunds (@. `:6 and 5!:0)
can similarly return operators.
+/ ('@:')5!:0 *: i.4
14
+/ ('@:';'&:')@.0 *: i.4
14
+('/';'\')`:6 i.4
0 1 3 6
