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.
