> {{ }} will be used in a step between word formation and parsing
You're suggesting here that there will NEVER be a use/occasion to see a string
that contains these new characters with a need to interpret them how J would.
If such a raw string might be useful, then modifying some of the tokens it
contains could as well.

{{ }} will be used in a step between word formation and parsing, and
will never be seen in parsing. I don't think it matters much whether
{{. is defined as a word or not. The state table for word recognition
is the same size either way.
