Nice dancer (was: drinking soup, etc.)

The Lojban view of "nice dancer": Lojban does *not* resolve
the difference between "one who is nice and a dancer" and
"one who dances nicely" in an open compound.  If someone
were to create a closed compound, nice-dancer, it would be
necessary to choose a specific interpretation.

The "fast talker" example does not refer to this problem,
but rather to the problem of which content word is being
used as the predicate in a particular case.  Thus
"le sutra tavla" is an argument, whereas "le sutra cu tavla"
is a predication.
