J's handling of _. was never really very consistent,
even with itself. For example (from J 6.01):

   _. <: _
1
   _ >: _.
0
   _ <:~ _.
1
   <:/~ _ __ _.
1 0 1
1 1 1
1 1 1
   >:/~ _ __ _.
1 1 0
0 1 0
0 0 1

(Even though one would expect >: to be the same as <:~)

So, as such, I would consider slavish compatibility
with results that are poorly-defined to actually be a BAD thing.
