Would you say that any of these ideas represent a step forward:

	Nested Arrays, as introduced in APL2 from IBM?
	Enclosed Arrays, as implemented by I.P.Sharp Associates?
	NARS, as implemented by STSC?
	NIAL, the Nested Interactive Array Language from Queens?

Would you say that APL compilers represent a step forward?
	There are at least two, that I know of, one from STSC and 
	and one from Arizona.
