 Ie, `^.(a b)` is `^+((a b) b)` is `^-(_(a b) b)`.
 
 `++weld` prudently casts its product to the type of the base list
-`b`.  In future this `^+`  will probably be removed, since we are
+`b`.  In the future this `^+`  will probably be removed, since we are
 perfectly capable of inferring that when you weld `(list a)` and
 `(list b)`, you get a `(list ?(a b))`.  But there's old code this
 change might confuse.
