Sorry folks, I set "nilad" myself. There's strictly no such thing in J. But being a recent convert from APL (and an admirer of self-documenting code) I'm so used to seeing an explicit header to a function. Of course using a word like "nilad" to parameterise "define" enforces nothing in the subsequent code, so really I'm fooling myself.
