Well, `e` isn't defined, and we haven't started thinking about how this should interact with the global namespace: `e` doesn't _usually_ mean the base of natural logarithms, in many portals,...

I'm not sure it goes without saying -- what kind of error message do you want here? Do you somehow want to detect that both the "function" and "operand" could...
