Arie, I enjoyed your ingenious and simple-but-not-easy solutions. My idea was
to subtract A times an identity matrix from A (replacing the diagonal elements
by 0), then add the conjugate transpose of that to A. =@i. n is a known idiom
for an n by n identity matrix, and the rest was easy.
hft =: + +@|:@(- ] * =@i.@#) NB. Hermitian from triangular
ishermitian hft A
