In addition to assigning a global (or a member of a locale [class or
object]), it's also possible to communicate outside the language
(either to the file system or the internet.
But, yes, you are right - typically you want to be conservative
about such activities.

As near as I can tell, your left argument for 'of' is a list of equal
length sentences where the last word in the sentence is a name in some
arbitrary locale (specified by the right argument of 'of'). In other
words, here are a couple experiments:
'this is a test' of ;:'this is a test'
this is a test_this_
this is a test_is_
this is a test_a_
this is a test_test_
(>;:'this is a test') of ;:'this is a test'
this_this_
is _is_
a _a_
test_test_
So I think I'd simplify the definition to this:
of_z_=: 4 :'x,''_'',''_'',~>y'"1 0

I'd have to see the definitions of the words you use, or example
before/after data, before I could really understand what you've said
here.
Until then, I understand that this code would do stuff.
