Whoops, just realized that code depends on the name reduce_prefix .
Remember my thread a couple of months ago, entitled "I know a shortcut"?

Well, I never found the beautiful solution I was looking for (so I
left my production code slow but correct). But, in retrospect, I
realized the proof-of-concept challenge I posted, "reduce prefix",
actually has its uses. So I kept it around. You can find it here:

Thinking back, R.E.Boss posted a solution to my challenge,
http://www.jsoftware.com/pipermail/programming/2006-December/004579.html
which is probably superior. I'm embarrassed to admit that I never
read through it. At the very least, it has no explicit loops, unlike
mine.
In any case, for FQN.ijs to work, you'll need to define reduce_prefix
. You can do this by having the script require 'reduce_prefix.ijs'
or by putting the definition (either Boss' or mine) in FQN.ijs itself.
