I was reading this and wondered what would happen with the interpreter if
it saw:

     IF:  1 eq or

If 'or' is a dummy field, how would this react?  

Better still, given a dummy 'eq':

     IF:  1 eq or or 2 eq eq

Does fP protect itself against false interpretation of dummy fields as
logical operators?  I don't think I've ever had occasion to try fooling it.
