Export Public API

Still another approach is to consider a class locale
as a module with private implementation: many small 
auxiliary verbs and other names, which exposes a
small public API. Then this selective API is "exported"
into the "z" locale to be used throughout.

See many patterns in J base library of the form:

coclass 'myclass'

myverb=: 3 : ...

myverb_z_=: myverb_myclass_    NB. export public API
