For large numbers of rules and few actions, J's native support of sparse arrays might provide a performance advantage, particularly in space. A minor note about the implementation here: the verb (function) <tt>troubleshoot</tt> is generalized, and reusable on any set of rule table, questions, and suggested actions. The default is to use those given in the printer troubleshooting table.
