13 : n  uses a set of heuristics to do its work.
Sometimes you can do better than what it does.
If I were translating  (,x) i. y   I would have
written  ,@[ i. ] .

I frequently use 13 : to explore different ways to express an idea.

Here's one I just tried, as part of something else:
  13 : '(,x) i. y'
] i.~ [: , [

This does not seem any simpler to me. What is the benefit of
recasting
the expression like this? Does it optimise better at run-time? Is
"13 :"
trying to minimise the parens at all costs? If so, why?
