To avoid having to come up with some new (and currently unknown)
rules for Dictionary II.E you would need to transform pgr from having
verb grammar with [. and ]. as placeholders to having conjunction
grammar.  In other words, your example would wind up looking something
like:

   pgr=: (HdLt [. ] ]. TlLt) Conjunction

where Conjunction might be some foreign or even some explicit
(though neither is currently possible because [. and ]. are
currently spelling errors), or (vague chance) something like :]

Do think this would be a significant improvement over what is
currently possible?
