This can be written more succinctly:
(%~<:)@:#
The (identical) verb would be even shorter if you substituted @ for @: .
But, as a matter of style, I prefer @: to @ except in cases where the
change would make a difference which I desire. My favorite example is [EMAIL
PROTECTED] .
That way, when I see an @ in my code, it stands out. I know I used it
intentionally, and I should pay closer attention.
