Length
A number has no length.
An atom in Phix has no length.
An atom in oE has the length one.
An oE atom has "implied length" using this reasoning. An atom appended to a sequence increases the length of the sequence by one; therefore it is "convenient" to say the length of an atom is "one."
This choice can have a great impact on algorithms in oE vs Phix.
