[Jprogramming] Bug in new vocabulary &: page

[Raul Miller]

I would put it this way:

The diagram could better distinguish between the structure of v and
the structure of & (or &:).

Probably a light grey box drawn around the "v part" (and the "u part")
would help make this distinction clear.

(But, since it's an image, and I don't know how the image was
originally created, I don't know how much work that would be.)

That said, it's not so much misleading as pointing at a fundamental
lack of understanding about how & (and &:) work.

Perhaps, there might be another way of doing the diagram, also, that
I'm not seeing, that would make this clearer???

Thanks,
