Examples

/~zod/try=> =cor  |=  a=@
      +(a)
new var %cor
/~zod/try=> +<.cor
a=0
/~zod/try=> =iro  ^|(cor)
new var %iro
/~zod/try=> +<.iro
! -axis.6
! peek-park
! exit

Here we crete a simple gate and assign it to the shell variable cor. We can examine the sample of cor with +< to produce a=0. Assigning a new shell variable, iro as the ^| of cor we can no longer peek in to its subject.
