It's different, though - the explicit is not a part of the result:

   ? bind 6
?@(6"_)

But bind has been around for as long as I can remember.

Also, it's mentioned here: http://www.jsoftware.com/help/user/lib_stdlib.htm

(The wayback machine says that that particular page has been around
only since 2014, but I suspect that bind has been in the distributions
for a couple decades.)
