There is no boxing.
My first impression was that you were objecting
to the presence of the LF which you had included
in the original data. However, on re-reading I
have decided that you are objecting that ; does
not do what you want:
i. 2 2
0 1
2 3
;i.2 2
0 1 2 3
You apparently want, for that particular example:
}:;(":i.2 2),.LF
Or, for the general case, one of these:
linfmtE=:3 :0
t=:":y
for_n.}.i.#$y do.
t=:;"2 ,&LF"1 t
end.
(-.#$y)}.t
)
linfmtT=: -...@#@$ }. ;"2@:(,&LF"1)^:(_1 + #...@$)@":
