Good idea.

Certainly this would make phrases like {./ more useful. The only downside I
can see would be it would make certain trains
muddier; today I might write (|.~ _ , someCalulation) to rotate certain
columns, the boxed form would have me write (|.~ _
<@, someCalulation) , which I could live with.
