Your essay is very clear, but doesn't address the issue for standalone
applications. To try another tack, it seems to me that the behavior for
j.exe -jprofile standalonescript.ijs
should be identical to opening a minimal ijx using
j.exe -jprofile
and then running
0!:0<'standalonescript.ijs'
At least I thought that was the implication of the section on debugging
standalone applications in the wiki. However, the former ends with an
error and the latter is ok when, for example, the script contains
t=:'some global in any script locale'
The little helper assignments using =. (like t=. prior to type=:) didn't
present any problem until J 6. Couldn't those assignments in the
standard library scripts be changed to, for example, t=: ?

If you think that there is some behavior that can not be
explained by the rules as described, please say so in the
commentary section at the end of the essay.
