I couldn't really think of an appropriate title for this. My issue is that I 
want to compute an expression that has a different number of terms depending on 
y.

   +/(>:i.n-1)*n NB. for all n, y >: n > 1
   +/(>:i.n-2)*(>:i.n-1)*n NB. for all n, y >: n > 2

and so on, so that:

   lim =. <:<.y%2

and we carry on the style of expression above until we are doing it for all n, 
y >: n > lim.

So in the case for y=.5, lim=.1 and we only do the first of the lines above. 
For y=.7, we would do the second one as well. For y=.9 we would do the same as 
the second but with a (>:i.n-3) multiplied with it all as well. I guess/hope 
there is some way of achieving this with power?
