[Bug-apl] Subtle bug in quad-tf

When using 2⎕tf to encode a nested array in which the last element is a
character array of rank greater than one, the parentheses around the
denotation of that element are incorrectly omitted.

      zzzz←'elan' 77 (2 3⍴⍳2)
      2⎕tf 'zzzz'
zzzz←'elan' 77 (2 3⍴1 2 1 2 1 2)
      zzzz←'elan' 77 (2 3⍴⍬)
      2⎕tf 'zzzz'
zzzz←'elan' 77 (2 3⍴0 0 0 0 0 0)
      zzzz←'elan' 77 (2 3⍴'ab')
      2⎕tf 'zzzz'
zzzz←'elan' 77 2 3⍴'ababab'
      zzzz←'elan' 77 (2 3⍴'')
      2⎕tf 'zzzz'
zzzz←'elan' 77 2 3⍴'      '

The problem doesn't exist when the rank of the final element is less
than two, since no parentheses are necessary to delimit the element's
denotation:

      zzzz←'elan' 77 'abc'
      2⎕tf 'zzzz'
zzzz←'elan' 77 'abc'
      zzzz←'elan' 77 ''
      2⎕tf 'zzzz'
zzzz←'elan' 77 ''
