There is nothing I know of that does what {{ }} does. But Raul's idea
is pretty close. As he notes, it fails for nested {{ }} (there is much
code that expects the result of 5!:5 <'explicitname' to have the form m
: string, but nested {{ }} seemed OK).

If you avoid nested {{ }} blocks, 5!:5 would do this.
In other words, this works:
mean=: {{ (+/ % #) y}}
5!:5<'mean'
3 : '(+/ % #) y'
But this would be useless for your purposes:
mean=: {{ {{x + y}} {{u/}} {{x % y}} {{#y}} }}
5!:5<'mean'
3 : '{{ x + y }} {{ u/ }} {{ x % y }} {{ #y }} '

For Henry I expect: as I share code between J903 on the laptop and J701 on this
iPad, I’ve been avoiding the use of {{ }} objects. (My iPad can’t support
Ian’s new J902.)
But I was just wondering about adding a routine to the J701 start.ijs script to
parse a J903 script translating direct definitions to their earlier
equivalents. And then I thought there might already be native J code to do
this.
So: do I need to invent this wheel?
Thanks,
Mike
