[Jprogramming] prob with redefining hook

['Pascal Jasmin' via Programming]

better solved with original semi-tacit design:

hook =: 2 : '([:u v) :  (u v) '

solved by redefining hook as:

  hook =: 2 : ('u v y' ;':';'x u v y')

I refer to original definition as 'semi tacit' in that it does not refer to xy args, and is generally faster, and also behaves more normally with locales.

The general usefulness of this conjunction is using it in adverb trains, where the client/consumer left verb argument doesn't need to be monadic as required when (@:+:) adverb is used.

no problems with dyad:

   4  + (hook +:)(hook +:) 2 3 
12 16 

but why does this not work?
     +: (hook +:)(hook +:) 2 3
