Thanks for the description.  This wasn't around back in '76, when I was
writing APL for Sharpe.

The concept is interesting and useful.  It certainly eliminates the need for
some if/then/else uses.  I still think a genuine if/then/else would be a
valuable enhancement to the language.  Some sort of loop construct would also
be valuable.
