(loc) took advantage that before the latest optimization in 805 that (y)
was undefined resulting in a return of _1 from (4!:4) . But now (y) is
defined by the time (4!:4) is executed. But if one is relying on a _n from
4!:4, why not just do ({:>4!:3'') ? But that would only work if the script
was being loaded for the first time. If the script were loaded earlier,
then reloaded, it would not be the last filename in (4!:3) .
It seems to me that a safer sequence to guarantee the filename of the
script would be:
MYLOC=:0
MYLOC=:(4!:4<'MYLOC'){4!:3''
This will work even if the script has been loaded previously.
