There are two things I would like to see for direct definition which
are not currently implemented. I do not know if these have any
roadblocks.( If they do have roadblocks, I would like to understand
these blocking issues.)
[1] Syntax highlighting. Currently, jqt uses a different color for
{{ than for }} in multiline direct definitions. (jhs does not have
this issue.)
[2] Representation. I would very much like a variant on 5!:5 which
produces a direct definition form which is analogous to linear
representation except that it uses direct definition rather than
explicit definition. (Name use conflicts could be handled by replacing
n=. with 'n'=. and replacing other uses of n with ('n'~), and of
course the same for other reserved names.)
My primary use of this representation would be in J's default display (9!:3).
If you think I should tackle these myself, I guess I can try (though I
suspect I would goof up on my first attempt, and I do not know where
jqt's syntax highlighting code is located).
Thanks,
