(I am not sure where I should leave these observations.)

Today, I stumbled over a couple mis-features in the implementation of
the "name only" mechanism in j's qtide search mechanism.

One issue is that a "name only" search for 'm' finds the 'm' in 'm.'
This makes searching for instances of 'm' which are not 'm.'
interesting, but arguably this is an acceptable compromise because J
merged 'm.' into 'm' some time ago.

However, a "name only" search for 'm' does not find the 'm' in
'var__m' (quotes are for emphasis here, and would not appear in the
text being searched), nor does a name only search for 'i' find the 'i'
in 'for_i.'.

Anyways, at some point, I think we should do better here.

Thanks,
