i've been up and down this road so many times i'm giving names to
the rocks.  am i wrong in thinking that the languages we're
concerned with (in this group) are those in which wholes are built
from parts by concatenation and where concatenation denotes a
fundamental operation, either composition or application (or
something else)?

joy and its descendents satisfy that definition.  other languages
can be restricted in various ways to satisfy it.
