→Array Combinators
$fnx is the core function that is utilized by other member functions such as $combinators, $atop, $tap, $pipe, $compose, $sequence, $fork, $alternation, etc. All popular combinators are named with the letters as well as bird names, and in several cases APL Glyphs. The use of functions stored in Arrays being invoked into patterns represented by combinators is an interesting twist that could change the way we think about programs in the future.

For advanced users, this approach suggest as a technique to generate effectively curried functions, that are partially evaluated and held for future use.
