Henry might have added that L:0 is a useful enough idiom to have been
packaged-up in the z-locale (stdlib.ijs) as: leaf
type'leaf'
┌──────┐
│adverb│
└──────┘
So...
$leaf BASE_LIBS
┌─┬─┬┬─┬──┬─┬─┬┐
│4│4││7│11│6│5││
└─┴─┴┴─┴──┴─┴─┴┘
Simple-minded me, I'd have used: each instead of: L:0 (aka leaf)...
$each BASE_LIBS
┌─┬─┬┬─┬──┬─┬─┬┐
│4│4││7│11│6│5││
└─┴─┴┴─┴──┴─┴─┴┘
(That's cos I knew your noun only had one level of nesting, so it
gives the same answer here.)
But leaf goes right down the nesting tree to the extremities. Here's a
2-level nested noun:
BASE_N =: 'base' ; ('ctag';'j') ;
'jadetag';'jadecompare';'jregex';'jtask';'z'
$leaf BASE_N
┌─┬────┬─┬──┬─┬─┬┐
│4│┌─┬┐│7│11│6│5││
│ ││4│││ │ │ │ ││
│ │└─┴┘│ │ │ │ ││
└─┴────┴─┴──┴─┴─┴┘
Whereas...
$each BASE_N
┌─┬─┬─┬──┬─┬─┬┐
│4│2│7│11│6│5││
└─┴─┴─┴──┴─┴─┴┘
...sees only the 2 atoms of the 2nd level nest.
...Just gilding the lily.
