[Jprogramming] Possible to nest multilinenoundefinitionwithinverbdefinition?

[Don Guinn]

The debugger is almost there. I entered a tacit definition with an
anonymous explicit definition inside. When I looked at it with the
debugger it displayed the entire definition but it was all on one line
with funny separators between the original lines.

db=: 3 : 0"0
+y
|:y
)

The line on the debugger was:

[0] 3 : 0"0
+y
|:y
)

The line separator appears to be 1{a. .
