[Jprogramming] Tacit obverse?

[Mark Rosenthal]

I was experimenting with string manipulation, and one case that seems to generate domain errors with obverse is:
('$'&,@,&'$')^:_1 '$foo$'

For these situations, should we revert to explicit obverse definition?

Is there a formal list of "obverse-capable" primitives?
