Right, that was a typo, I meant N a0 and you are right again I meant an early 
version of J (as mentioned by Dan).  If dangerous means 
that the facility/bug was likely to provoke crashes then, depending on how one 
uses (or abuses depending on your point of view) J, there are many other 
dangerous J facilities (and I like to live dangeroulsly during the development 
stages).

This can not be correct.

a1 can not produce a result taken by a1.

Furthermore, when I experiment, I do not see this happening.

Also, if a0 produces an adverb result, I get a syntax error, but
presumably you meant
in some earlier version of J.

(Also, if Roger said it was dangerous, I imagine he meant that
it was likely to provoke crashes.)
