I can understand that you might prefer that format for your own use. I know 
that when I'm developing I often end up with big long lines of code. It is not 
unless I plan on coming back to it or showing it to someone else that I take 
the next step and break the line up into smaller more manageable chunks. 

I just think that we'll have more chance encouraging others to give J a go, if 
we don't make it appear more daunting than it has to be.
