There's always one in a group isn't there :)
I'd would say that the specs suggest that the period is added so that the case
of '.a' wouldn't come up as the only two letter arguments allowable end in a
period. Subject to interpretation, I'd call it a feature :)
By the way, I picked some low hanging fruit and reduced to 50 by appending [
and removing the outer most brackets
1j1#"1&|:(25{.(a.{~,2#65 97+/i.26)(>:@i.}.[){.)"0[ 's.'
t
u
v
w
x
y
z
a
b
c
d
e
f
g
h
i
j
k
l
m
n
o
p
q
r
It may be familiarity but I find this current version much easier to read than
some of the others (including my iterations :) )
Cheers, bob
ps. I really enjoyed reading your presentation at the J conference.
