You seem to write 12 as 1 :+ 2 instead of () :+ 1 :+ 2. But I

How 'bout treating :+ as similar to `append' rather than similar to
`cons'?
Basically treat :+ as taking 2 numbers (rather than a number and
a digit).
Dumb questions department: why not define e.g. D'0 .. D'9 as () :*
0 .. () :* 9? Programmers then get D'1 :* 2, but the library sees
() :* 1 :* 2.
