Thanks for setting me straight. I see I was misreading the manual on
MAX-U, and that it is available in 0.7.3 if used correctly.

I tried installing the 0.7.9 snapshot and now u/ is available as
described.

The only thing that still mystifies me is why a seemingly basic word
like u/ wasn't added until so recently.
