A better comparison is provided by #@;: (counting primaries, literal
nouns, and defined names -- rather than characters).
In many cases the same result would be provided by [EMAIL PROTECTED]&' .:' but
it
not only fails to match #@;: it's longer and more complicated.
For the three verbs you compared, the respective results are
18 16 15 when #@;: is used.
