A list of bytes is internal to J and is a known type. A file is
foreign. If I want to send an npy datastream over a socket, why should
I have to write/read a file?
The new primitive should deal with bytes rather than files for the same
reason (":) does.

We are unaware of these principles, but
our demand is as simple as reading J
*objects* out of binary files (npy). The
version we are using internally is a main
operator (w.) actually, but I don't feel that
being more acceptable.
