Feature Request

Description of Problem:

Although q prides itself in terseness and efficiency, it can come at a price:

  • Highly-overloaded symbolic operators can be beginner-unfriendly (as well as search engine unfriendly).
  • Error messages are ambiguous and require console access to get at the root cause.
  • Some overloads are considered dangerous since they can : mutate state, open sockets, etc.

Potential Solutions:

Offer a standardized "verbose" wrapper around q operators which disambigate the overloads and provide more informative error messages.
