Ok, good.  I ran into this when starting to scribble my April Fools
joke, as Arctangent doesn't provide a "begin" form.  I'll send a patch
shortly.

I'm running into another issue with @interactions where it does not
preserve the square-bracketness of an expression before passing it to
the evaluator.  Fixing the bug looks more involved.  I'll send a bug
report.
