Re: [Bug-apl] Revisiting the APL 2 empty-array display behavior

[Juergen Sauermann]

Hi,

I believe the dyadic ⍕ with character left argument (called Format by Example in IBM APL2) is
more powerful than ⎕FMT (which is a bit too FORTRAN-like for my taste) and is already
implemented in GNU APL.

And then we have good old printf() in FILE_IO.

Would it make sense to implement Dyalog's ⎕FMT function? It should actually be possible to mostly implement it in pure APL. Or, we could implement something better (i.e. easier to use). It's definitely something that would be useful in a generic library.
