Open your mind. This is is a special thing, and it can have special rules. Don't think of it exactly as a combinator if that is what's holding you back. This isn't supposed to be a special thing. Don't multiply entities unnecessarily; if we can do things without inventing new fundamental concepts, we should. I'm especially against inventing things that "arent' exactly combiantors" - getting *close* but to *exact* to an existing concept is a recipe for confusion. ~TJ
