/: Improved initial writing: 2000-08-17
last updated: 2000-09-14

/: and \: are now faster on the following arguments: Time comparisons are as follows: 
   timer=: 6!:2
   timer '/:x' [ x=: 0.0001 * _5e8 + ? n $ 1e9   NB. floating point
   timer '/:x' [ x=:          _5e8 + ? n $ 1e9   NB. large-range integers
   timer '/:x' [ x=:                 ? n $ 2e5   NB. small-range integers
   timer '/:x' [ x=: a. {~ ? (1e5,c) $ #a.       NB. literal
   timer '/:x' [ x=:       ? (1e5,c) $ 2         NB. boolean
