I'm trying to coerce ⍕ into doing something that should be trivial. Assume I have a number N, and I want to display it like in a printf using the pattern
"value=%d".
I've tried all sorts of variations, but I just can't make it happen. It's all good until I try to pass in a negative value. How can I do this?
Secondly, it seems to me as though this thing is designed with preformatted columnar data in mind. This kind of formatting is increasingly rare these days, so I still feel that a more powerful formatting facility is needed. Something along the lines of the Common Lisp FORMAT function would be nice.
Regards,
Elias
