• [x] It'd be nice if the readme explicitly stated that this needs Dyalog APL and how to do so.
• [x] Use the Dyalog's standard file extensions (.aplf/.apln/.apls for functions, namespaces, shell scripts etc.) instead of GNU APL's .apl
• [x] Move ⎕IO←0 inside the namespace so it doesn't pollute the environment. This will also make it possible to use the code from other APL code.

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback. I've addressed the first two points in the latest commit, but the reason ⎕IO←0 was kept outside the namespace is that Co-dfns doesn't support system functions (besides ⎕NC, ⎕SIGNAL, and ⎕DR), so compiling TRANSFORMER wouldn't have been possible were the index origin set therein. However, ⎕IO←0 can be removed altogether, especially since Co-dfns is by default 0-based, and the README would be updated accordingly to specify the indexing. What do you think?

[abrudz]

That could work, but maybe even better is to move the actual namespace into APLSource/TRANSFORMER.apln (file names should match contents) and add APLSource/⎕IO.apla containing just 0. This way, one can Link into # with the same effect. This also allows you to include instructions on how to actually import the namespace into one's APL session:

      ]Import # /path/to/APLSource
Imported: # ← /path/to/APLSource

In fact, one can launch directly from the shell with dyalog LOAD=/path/to/APLSource and it'll auto-Link to #.

I see, that makes sense. I'll make these changes and release the commit later today.
