Very cool Ric,

I guess that the fact that they are unboxed does take the a: complementary 
selector out of play.

  rep (<1; a:;1 ) } t
┌──┬─┬──┬──┐
│0 │1│2 │3 │
├──┼─┼──┼──┤
│4 │5│6 │7 │
├──┼─┼──┼──┤
│8 │9│10│11│
└──┴─┴──┴──┘

┌──┬─┬──┬──┐
│12│a│14│15│
├──┼─┼──┼──┤
│16│a│18│19│
├──┼─┼──┼──┤
│20│a│22│23│
└──┴─┴──┴──┘

But the new option with some transposition would still allow changing columns 
without the boxing.

Cheers, bob
