Re: [engelang] Xorban: Semantics of "l-" (and "s-" and "r-")

As for implicitly bound variables, I don't think we bothered yet to
specify where the implicit binder is supposed to go, as it is usually
not very relevant if it's l-, but I would say the rule has to be that
it goes immediately before the simple-formula in which the variable
appears. This means that a'a and e'e will be redefined each time they
appear (unless it's in the same simple-formula), but this can be an
advantage, as you may choose to direct part of your sentence to one
person and another part to another, or one person can complete some
other person's sentence with the personal pronouns getting the right
values.

That seems to be the most straightforward thing to do.
