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?)
