I don't know whether it would be a language improvement or not, but:
A conjunction variation could be defined for atom n only, and if it encounters
a list, it just uses the first item of the list and applies itself to remainder.
But !: can be done directly
linearize =: (, $~ 1 -.~ $)@] NB. remove all 1 dimensions.Fo =: 2 : 'm !:
({.n) (linearize }. n)' NB. foreign replacement
9 Fo 11 8
<empty>
9 Fo 10 NB. remainder of atom is ''
8

This is an issue in many contexts.- a sequence of numbers separated by
spaces is treated as a single list.
This subject is actually mentioned in a variety of contexts, though
it's not called out as an issue in the examples I reviewed. So I don't
know where I'd send a user to read about the issue.
