Rearranging orders of operations to put potential input last

[isaacg1]

I'd like to accumulate a list of all functions that we should swap the order of operations on to allow the use of implicit Q more often. Starting list:

• @<col><int>
• c<str><str>
• i<col><int>
• j<col><int>
• r<str><int>
• .:<col><int>
• .x<any><any>
• .c, .C, .P

I'm not sure about these:

• x<col><col>
• X

This is actually a good reason to keep the lambdas ones the way they are now instead of switching them like we were planning. Maybe keep some like m and switch say f.

[isaacg1]

I'd much prefer that they all go the same way, for learnability.

[Maltysen]

This isn't "switching" them per-say, but I feel like the default value on q should be removed or moved to something else after implicit Q has been added, since I find myself wanting to compare with the input fairly often.

[isaacg1]

That's a good point, I'll change that now. This is a good place to accumulate additional examples like that one.

Also, .> and .<

I just realized that we don't have to necessarily have to switch the input order to have he order that they fill up in switch. For example: @3 could expand to @Q3.

That's an interesting idea - I like anything we can do to increase backward compatibility while getting the same advantages.

Wouldn't that complicate the parser more? You need to detect you're at eof, and that you were parsing a @ (i.e. @hT)
