Yes, and perhaps I should be more explicit about what I'm trying to say there.

The expression 1 :'+/ % #' is tacit in two senses:

(a) the : expression takes a constant argument rather than a named argument.

(b) The result of the : expression does not contain any named arguments.

In contrast,
   A=: '+/ % #'
   1 : A

only satisfies definition (b).

Meanwhile, the definition 1 :'(+/ % #)y' only satisfies definition (a).

And, of course:
   B=: '(+/ % #)y'
   1 : B

satisfies neither definition.

If you put adverb definition inside a verb and then use that verb with
high low rank on a large array, the adverb performance might become
significant.

But I imagine you would need a somewhat complicated scenario before
anything like this could arise.
