Comment:
Well, in Fateman's eyes (and I would remind that he is an expert, if not
THE expert, in this), the only bug is in users who treat these
''expressions'' as ''functions''. At least, that's how I interpret it.
So updating the documentation may be the better way.
But this shouldn't be a duologue; hopefully some others will have ideas.
Cc:ing a few others who have thought about at least one or two of these
things, just in case they have thoughts at this time. Otherwise it will
sit - I simply don't have time to deal with it right now, because it needs
to be part of a general overhaul of simplification if we don't just change
documentation.
