Here is the space that is bothering me.  The different results are dependent
upon the space before the colon.

   d=: 13 : '/:~ :/:@": &.>y'
   d a,b
------T-----┐
│01123│01123│
L-----+------

   e=: 13 : '/:~:/:@": &.>y'
   e a,b
0 1

I find this helpful to see differences:

    /:~ :/:@": &.>a,b
                      -- ~ --- /:
                -- : -+- /:
          -- @ -+- ":
   -- &. -+- >
   │
--+      -- a
   L------+- ,
          L- b


    /:~:([:/:": )&.>a,b
   -- /:
   │    -- ~:
   │    │          -- [:
--+    │      ----+- /:
   │    +- &. -+   L- ":
   L----+      L- >
        │
        │      -- a
        L------+- ,
               L- b
