I think that's something that perl6 could do better then APL.
If anyone would like to channel this APL energy into APL-on-parrot,
I'm sure it could some attention since the parrot 1.0 release. =)

The rho example is interesting, though it doesn't compile in current Rakudo.
1 2 3 ⍴¨ 10 would natively be written in Perl 6 as 10 »xx« (1,2,3).
perl6 complains about non-dwimmyness. 10 xx (1,2,3) gives

That was a big part of it... I'm glad Mark posted the APL snippet

It does so without importing any modules, and without using a single if,
