It also assume that Jasmin was thinking of deriving a source noun from a "not-quite-J-script" file. Imagine... - a mail-file with a mail header and a J script body, - a J script digitally signed by its author, - a J script containing additional "WEB"-style documentation - a J script containing extra code for instrumentation which should be stripped off, - a J script NOT containing instrumention code which should be added. In all these cases, the files could be preprocessed by some special J loader code into noun scripts and "executed from noun" but, in case of errors, with a helpful hint from which file the code originated. Personally, I would prefer cpp-style #file/#line directives in scripts. At any rate, the above is how I understood the proposal.
