: I very much like the new code you posted above, and am of the opinion that it should be posted as the sole J solution. Your one-liner is interesting, but what seems to me a better way to handle it would be to link to a Jwiki page where you post it. The version I wrote is best set aside. The desireable features of your new version are (1) emphasis on functional composition, (2) self-documenting qualities of component verbs, and (3) focus on standard programming techniques with constraint to the core primaries. --[[User:TBH|TBH]] 01:48, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 
:: Whoops, sorry I didn't see this discussion before I made my changes to the current J solution. I don't see a problem with using the foreign conjunctions. If your language has a facility that makes a job easier then why not use it! Adding a comment prevents confusion for veteran and novice users alike, and I agree that the session should be returned to its prior state. I'd be happy with Dan's proposed solution above too, although it could probably be simplified some, now that the spec has been clarified.
