Hi,
I have a group of monadic verbs for which I want the concatenated result,
e.g.
  foo0=: 3 : '0'
   foo1=: 3 : '1'
   foo2=: 3 : '2'
   foo3=: 3 : '3'
   allfoo=: foo0,foo1,foo2,foo3
   allfoo ''
0 1 2 3

So *allfoo* does what I want.  However, my actual set of verbs is longer
than this so I broke the assignment of *allfoo* into two pieces for
readability:
   allfoo=: foo0,foo1
   allfoo=: allfoo,foo2,foo3
   allfoo
allfoo , foo2 , foo3
   allfoo ''
|stack error: foo3
|allfoo[0]

I have inadvertently introduced infinite recursion.  Clearly I'm missing
something thinking I can concatenate verbs like I can concatenate nouns.

This gives me a result that performs as expected but looks bad:
   allfoo=: foo0,foo1
   allfoo=: (allfoo f.),foo2,foo3
   allfoo''
0 1 2 3
   allfoo
(3 : (,'0') , 3 : (,'1')) , foo2 , foo3

Any suggestions on how to break the assignment into multiple lines?

Thanks,

Devon
