Does the Vocabulary entry for Power need updating for (^:a:) ? The grey
section at the top does not mention n being a: and says that if n is boxed
it must be an atom. a: is a boxed empty list. The exact statement is, "If n is
boxed it must be an atom, and u^:(<m)"
What is the antecedent of "it" in that sentence? Does it mean that the box
must be an atom or the contents of the box must be an atom? The examples
which follow imply that it's the contents. But if it's n that must be an
atom, where is the description of n being a: in the grey area?
