I think that Ian was concerned about the distinction between 1 and 1:
In other words, compare:
pp=: 1: = [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
pp1=: 1 = [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
p=: #~ 1: = [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
p1=: #~ 1 = [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
That said, note that 1 and 1: each mean the same thing in this context.
1 gets treated like 1"_ and 1: has that same definition.
However, this is a relatively new feature and a lot of J's documentation
was written earlier.
