[Jprogramming] Leap Year (use of dot)

[Roger Hui]

For the arguments here in question there are no differences
between the two, except one may be more efficient than
the other.  (And I would need to do a benchmark to
settle this last question.)

BTW, with the nvv fork introduced since the original writing,
those phrases can be shortened:

m11 =: 0 ~:/ .= 4 100 400 |/ ]
m11a=: 0 ~:/@:= 4 100 400 |/ ]
