Most J code has the structure
name =: value

I believe additional structural analysis is considerably beyond
the scope of doxygen -- to my knowledge, doxygen has no
concept of rank and would not be prepared to do anything
special with conjunctions, adverbs or forks (or, for that matter,
parenthesis).

J does support some "block level keywords", but these are primarily
used for degenerate cases and in any event comprise a very small
part of the bulk of well written J programs.  Enshrining them with
special documentation support not given to the rest of J seems a
step in the wrong direction.
