Your point 3 is pretty good. Why don't you write something there?
Also, a FAQ page would be useful. The Guides page mentions FAQs but I
don't find them useful, though there are a lot of pages with FAQ in the
name. Consolidating this, and linking it from NuVoc and Guides, would
be a great service.

I imagine the *how* of finding it is reaching for monadic ".
and then being dissatisfied with it, through a process like
1. I want to receive a string and turn it into a number.
".'123'
123
2. Oh, but that's evaluates anything, I don't want *that*!
".'shell ''head -1 /etc/passwd'''
root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
3. Maybe the docs for ". recommend some other verb to use?

Well, both your advices work as predicted.
I did not think readcsv would handle the double quotes in an
appropriate way, but that I didn't try it is worse.
And 0&". is a superb trick, where did you find that?
Thanks.

Actually 0&". Seems to convert number strings containing commas OK.
0 ". > '123,555';'253,562.26'
123555 253562
