When my script file loads other files that I write, it would be very convenient if we had a special jpath syntax for the folder that contains the current file. For example, let's say my script is at /my/path/foo.ijs, and it loads bar.ijs from the same folder.
load 'bar.ijs' ... Or it loads baz.ijs from a subfolder. load 'libs/baz.ijs' ... But this works only when I run the script from the /my/path folder. If I run it from, say, my home directory, load would fail to locate bar.ijs. If J provides a special path syntax, say, '~filefolder', I'll be able to do load '~filefolder/bar.ijs' ... or load '~filefolder/libs/baz.ijs' ... I'll be able to use ARGV_z_ to extract it but that would work only for the main script file. Does this make sense? Or am I missing something obvious?
