I agree with Pepe.  There is no support for this behavior in the DoJ.  In
fact, a plain reading of the DoJ contradicts this behavior.  

Of course, the Dictionary could be changed to eliminate the contradiction
(by describing the interpreter's behavior).   But IMO it would be more
useful to make the interpreter match the Dictionary (and to maintain the
general pattern than  u C v n  <-->  u C (v n)  ).
