Ye Dic mentions only verb trains under `: .
an=. <@:((,'0') ,&:< ])f.
(<,'+:') ` (an 1) @. 0 1

The ARs are converted to a sequence of words and that sequence is
executed. I guess it couldn't be any other way - a value has to have a
single part of speech.
(an 1) `(<,'+:') @. 0 1

Note that another option for passing modifiers as arguments would be
to use placeholder verbs as arguments to the modifiers and then
passing the resulting verb.
As long as the placeholders are identifiable, they can then be easily replaced.
For example, given:
genid=:({~ ?@#~@#)@((#~_1<:nc@<"0
A shorter version of Jose's argument.
Functional programming requires the ability to pass functions as arguments. A
missing feature in J is to pass modifiers as arguments, and atomic
representations is the best (or at least a very good) way of getting around
that limitation.
