{:: doesn't conform to its description. For one thing,
it acts differently if x is unboxed; for another, it doesn't
open a scalar.
0 {:: <123
|length error
Also, it behaves differently if the last selection produces
a list:
(<<0 1) {:: 'a';'b'
+-+-+
|a|b|
+-+-+
(<<0 1) fetch 'a';'b'
ab
Workaround for your problem:
('';_1) {:: <i.3
2
