(u: 97 98 99)&,        <== (3)
(10&u: 97 98 99)&,     <== (3)

Good suggestion for 3/ howerver
if ascii of string is in range of 32 and 127 then it possible
(u: 'abc')&,
(10&u: 'abc')&,

else if the string is valid unicode then it may also
be possbile using the form
(7&u: 'someutf8string')&,
(9&u: 'someutf8string')&,

But J literal4 contain the full range of 4 bytes, so some are
invalid unicode characters and should use the current format.
