Things are really moved around in J7. Many names that had to be explicitly
loaded in J6 are included in '~system/main/stdlib' in J7.

To find where a name is defined in J6 use the "edit" verb. like "edit
'jpath'". In J7 JGTK open stdlib, select "defs" from the left panel and
scroll to the name then double click it..
