I suspect that Randy MacDonald's comment had to do with the
difference in treatment that you give higher ranked arrays.
5!:5 <'t'[t=: 1e9+i. 8
1000000000+i.8
5!:5 <'t'[t=: 1e9+i. 7
1000000000 1000000001 1000000002 1000000003 1000000004 1000000005 1000000006
5!:5 <'t'[t=: ,.1e9+i. 2
1000000000+i.2 1
And I suspect that the answer has to do with your need to represent
the shape of those arrays.
But it's interesting that you base the decision for rank 1 arrays on
some criteria
other than relative compactness.
