What I mean, might be made a bit clearer in an example
please look at http://www.ganuenta.com/example.jpg
(it's Dyalog APL)
the function as_op is a cover function and will call at lines [4, 5, 6]
three

because not
relevant here;
the function as_op on its turn will probably be called by again another
function, or by a mouse-click in the graphical interface.
