Jim and Martin:

Thank you both for answering.

Yes, that seems to be the case.  Thank you for pointing me
to this paragraph in the RM.

Since I can do  "+"(x,y)  in place of x+y (and similarly for other
intrinsics) I thought I could store a pointer to "+" and use it to
the same effect that one would use sin'access etc -- which one
really can.  Without that, I have to resort to either wrapping the
intrinsics or doing case analysis -- nothing really awful but still
vexing.

Cheers,
   Boyko
