  The trick doesn't work when y is a string (of code) instead of a file.  So 
any processing of a file that creates J code (that will be the actual loading) 
must write a new file only because if the code includes that trick, it only 
works for file loads.  The file approach runs into problems with multi process 
code such as that in zmq and jd add ons.
The change (to add x parameter) is specifically required so that the trick you 
describe works on string y, where the trick would return the x parameter to 0!:n

There is a request outstanding for a change to 0!:n, giving an optional
left argument.  The justification is to allow a verb to find the name of
the script it was loaded in.  I don't see why the current 4!:3 and 4!:4
aren't adequate.  Can someone explain why

(4!:3'') {~ 4!:4 <'name_of_my_verb'

doesn't suffice?

The request is at
