Columns:
n short int returned by type and used for Cast, e.g. 9h$3
c character used lower-case for Cast and upper-case for Tok and Load CSV
sz size in bytes
inf infinity (no math on temporal types); 0Wh is 32767h
RO: read only; RW: read-write
Other datatypes 20-76 enums 77 anymap 104 projection 78-96 77+t – mapped list of lists of type t 105 composition 97 nested sym enum 106 f' 98 table 107 f/ 99 dictionary 108 f\ 100 lambda 109 f': 101 unary primitive 110 f/: 102 operator 111 f\: 103 iterator 112 dynamic load
Above, f is an applicable value.
Nested types are 77+t (e.g. 78 is boolean. 96 is time.)
