@abrudz any suggestion for suitable icon? current setup is:
v: 2.1 2.2 2.3 2.6
f: 3.1 3.2 3.3 3.6
o: 4.1 4.2 4.3
e: 8.6
n: 9.1 9.2
c: 9.4 9.6
i: 9.5 9.7
Just a radical idea:
V: 2.1 2.2 2.3 2.6
F: 3.1 3.2 3.6
f: 3.3
O: 4.1 4.2
o: 4.3
E: 8.6
N: 9.1
c: 9.2
C: 9.4 9.6
I: 9.5 9.7
The idea here is that main items are uppercase while "lesser" items are lowercase. So Classes are C and instances of them are c. So too, functions are F and derived functions are f while operators are O and derived operators are o. (Primitive functions and operators are not really derived, but they are "lesser" in not having their own scope.)
We could even split V into:
V: 2.3
v: 2.1 2.2 2.6
because only properties are "major" in that they contain code, while all other variables are just static values (no APL code is run when referencing them).
I suspect the same letters in upper and lower case would likely be too indistinct.
My 2c: in the absence of a very compelling reason to change it, leave it as it is so we don't confuse people.
