I think this observation can be reduced to:
a =. ' '
b =. 32{a.
7!:5 <'a'
0
7!:5 <'b'
64
I guess there's some special treatment of the token ' ' .
Still, I'm surprised by your second observation, as I thought that the
expression x $ < y was optimized by creating an array of pointers to the same
box, rather than copying the actually data. As in:
z=.i. 1000 1000
7!:5<'z'
4.1943e6
Z=.1 $ z
7!:5<'Z'
4096
Z=.4 $ z
7!:5<'Z'
16384
Z=.4 4 4 $ z
7!:5<'Z'
262144
