I wonder if that's worth featuring on the blog, for it helps me see a use for that change. I was beginning to wonder last week if nouns in forks was a philosophical problem. After all, J makes a big deal of _1 as a number as distinct from -1 as a verb and a number, unlike other math systems, and then we say a fork is a verb train unless you have a literal noun. Thanks!
