============
Composition
-----------
The `;` runes are used for composition. They are all synthetic.
There are three categories of `;` runes.

#### Gate composers
[`;:`]() Applies a binary gate to multiple arguments.
[`;~`]() Uses a monad to compose multiple gates, producing a gate of a similar type.
[`;;`]() Composes a [clam]() with a value, slamming the value through
the clam and forcefully verifying that it is unchanged. See also:
[`++hard`]().

quotes).
