Actually, thinking about this, there's a way of abusing the parser to
express tacit definitions in a multiline format that's fairly
readable. For this example:
glqtextmetrics=: _{{
m=. '"',libjqt,'" glqtextmetrics ',(IFWIN#'+'),' i *i'
u=. m&cd@(<7#00)
(1&{:: [ chkgl2)@u"1
}}
This is kind of a one-off approach, though, and when putting together
a library like gl2 it might be better to encapsulate some of this for
reuse.
Thanks again,
