Hello.  I am very new to J and experimenting with the (very cool) explicit to 
tacit operator.
I general, shouldn't a left argument of 13 to : create the same verb as a left 
argument of 3?

   (3 : 'y + y') 2
4

This is what I expect, but using 13 gives a different answer:

   (13 : 'y + y') 2
2

Evaluating just the operator:
   13 : 'y + y'
+

This is not what I expect.  But curiously:
   13 : 'y + y + y'
] + +

This is more what I expected for 13 : 'y + y'  because
   (] + +) 2
4

Shouldn't (13 : 'y + y') evaluate to (] + +)? (I am using J602 on Windows 
Vista.)

Thanks for any help to a beginner,
- Jeff
