Tacit bz would certainly be harder to maintain than BZ for beginners like me
bz=: '0'"_ ` (I.@:(' '&=)@]) ` ]}~
Case in point : why is there a ~ at the end of bz?
Sometimes the answer is in front of me but I take a while to recognize it :
the gerund form of amend needs a left argument and ~ does the trick
As a bonus this led me to derive a dyadic version which replaces blanks in
the right argument by the left argument:
bc =: [ ` (I.@(' '&=)@]) ` ]}
'-' bc 'aaa bbb ccc'
aaa-bbb-ccc
