I think the reason that so many people dislike explicit definitions is because 
they are syntactically ugly. Multiline is only mildly ugly, but single line is 
a freak. Come on,

length=:3 : '%: +/ *: y' ?

Bleah. Clean, easy to read and still bleah.

This and only this fuels myth of alleged superiority of purely tacit 
expressions.
Because ugly cannot be good.
