Intriguing XPL coding



In U2, the much appreciated UNPUTCR routine has this code, near its start,
using square brackets for guillements:

[IF0+[VA$WS]<1!0+[VA$WS]+[VA$XD]>2]
It is the introduction of the zero which I don't understand. Why does it have any effect, especially since the earlier version of UNPUTCR didn't use it:

[IF[VA$WS]<1![VA$WS]+[VA$XD]>2]

Something very cagey is going on here. What is it?
