Ah, this is helpful. Thanks. These definitions will allow me to simplify some
of the normalization functions.

That’s because I didn’t know how to define it, until now ;)

The primary use case here is to manipulate memory and low-abstraction objects.
For example:
1: bw 12345
_1
Makes sense from a machine integer level, but not on a J level. Similarly, I’d
expect bw to be used to manipulate the *machine integers* underlying extended J
integers, not the highly-abstract J extended integers themselves.
