fu zei bar does become a single token currently, but this happens
after si has already acted, so the above is not a problem. The only 
effect is that bu in {fu zei bar bu} sees a single token and 
creates a BY.

I think Robin's approach for this is the Right Thing: the second
zei is the glue, so {zei zei broda} is as well behaved as any
other lujvo. In a string of more than one {zei}, the evens have 
to be glue and the odd ones glued rather than the other way around 
as is currently the case.
