Re: [Bug-apl] box and unbox that work uniformly and without exceptions

[Blake McBride]

I tried the ravel everything method, but that lead to APL2 disclosing a vector into a matrix....  APL2 fought me touth and nail.  I gave up and wrote box/unbox.

Blake,

        Thanks for the detailed response.  I understand the issue more clearly
now.

        I think I would ask the user to reshape scalar arguments to vectors
(e.g. (1⍴'k')(1⍴'v')).  But then, that is as onerous as having to
remember to use box everywhere its required.

Regards,

Fred
