I'm not as convertible as Skip Cave.  I don't think
that overlapping with the APL character set is a very
good idea.

How about this for another approach:

Provide an option whereby J. primitives can be displayed
as the base J character but in (say) red, and J: primitives
can be displayed in (say) green.

Simple, eh?  Compatible, too.  And colour-blind people can
simply opt to go with the original.

Later on, negative numbers can be shown optionally in red
(accounting fashion).
