Since learning recently about printf in J (...an old friend from C
days) I find it solves a lot of problems I've developed ad-hoc
solutions to.

Result: I've abandoned my ad-hoc solutions.

If it's not much used (by the system) maybe it ought to be?

That's just by-the-by. I'm using it heavily in some middleware I'm
developing. If it takes off it'll dragalong printf (...into the
system?)
