What verb joins l and r to make R? ({.l),.> {. r works for the first element of each array, but I haven't figured out how to generalize it. l ,."0 1 >"1 r comes close, but "each' seems called for to avoid padding, and I haven't figured out something that works. Note to self: don't go months without programming in J and then expect it to still be in one's head.
