[Jprogramming] Show cause hearing: maximum rank will be 63

[Roger Hui]

The following code snippet shows that conversion between sparse and dense
is not _required_.

   s=: 1 $. 9876543 $ 2

   #$ s
9876543

   #$ +/ s
9876542

   /: s
0 1

   s -: /:~ s
1

What are the benefits of restricting the rank to 63?
