[Jprogramming] ambivalent tacit verb with Self-Reference

['robert therriault' via Programming]

Adding to Raul's solution, it can be simplified a little by removing the excess ]'s

    pad =: (1&$:) : ((0,.~0,.0,~0,]) ^:[ )
   pad i. 3 4
0 0 0  0  0 0
0 0 1  2  3 0
0 4 5  6  7 0
0 8 9 10 11 0
0 0 0  0  0 0
