It is interesting to compare different representations 
of the power set but not overly informative to compare 
the time/space needed to compute them.  Moreover,
it can be argued that #:i.2^n or even i.2^n represent
the power set pretty well, and:

   ts '(i.@>: <@comb"0 ]) 15'
0.0135685 1.61126e6
   ts 'i.2^15'
3.43619e_5 262912

At the very least, to make ps2 and the comb
approach comparable, you have to make the
latter work on arbitrary sets, such as 'abcd' or
i.3 2 2.  For example,

ps3=: (i.@>:@# comb&.> #) {&.> <@]
