"Mad" isn't exactly the term I would use, "unhappy".  And I *think* it is an
ISO mis-feechure.  The APL*PLUS NARS had braces around the left argument
(in the defn of the fuction), and it as well as the current VM/SP version
had Quad-Monadic & Quad-Dyadic for determing how the function was invoked...
