Actually I just noticed about the scalar vs composit.  So is there any 
time when using a scalar constraint is reasonable/allowed with the new 
operator?  I will take your advice and read 3.2.2.  I hope I wont have 
to read the *WHOLE* text to answer this one question -- it is too large 
and I get lost and confused ;)

Thank you (and Alex) for your rapid replies.
