I had a friend who time to time had to call people on the phone and

thing. I suggest that [trigger] help feature an image of an arrow (<---) to
reinforce the idea of "right to left".

[trigger] is important, but only when objects don't have enough outlets
themselves. [unpack 0 0 0] already has three outlets that, just like [t f f f]
fire from left to right, so triggering explicitly is not needed. Oops. Please invert: "just like [t f f f] fires from right to left".

71 of 364 (19.5%) college professors and 311 of 1185 (26.2%) college
students said that they occasionally, frequently or all of the time had
difficulty when they had to quickly identify right from left. References:
