We have
dyad (<"1@[ { ])
which is backed by special code and gives a good way to read scattered
values from an array. I am looking for a comparable way to
scatter-write to an array without boxing all the points.
I can't think of one, and I wonder whether we should define
dyad m}
where m is numeric of rank 2 or higher, as
(<"1 m)}
An incompatible change, but perhaps no one would notice.
Alternative would be to back dyad (<"1 m)} with special code, but that
would be a parser change.
