I messed up the last part of my last message. It should have been:
You can get what you want using instead,
(".@:('p'"_) , 0 $ 'p' =:: ]) 'erling'
erling
p
erling
erase'p'
1
or
(".@:('p'"_) , 0 $ 'p' =.. ]) 'erling'
erling
p
erling
since =.. is easier to type and it is equivalent to =:: unless =.. is used
within an explicit environment (beware of the standard library verb load).
I hope it helps,
PS. Personally, I do not rely on the actual sequential execution of the
tines of forks because I dream of the day when j/jx can execute them in
parallel.
