   x;y is (<x),y if y is boxed, and* *(<x),<y if y is open.
Or in seeking one expression to describe link ; we get:

   (<x),(<>y)   NB. box x , box open y

examples:
a:;a:;<a:
(<1);(<2);(<<1)

I kind of appreciate that there isn't a special parser rule for this case
now.  I wonder how a language implementer would approach this.  How do you
avoid treating special cases and maintain simplicity in the code base?
