Also, if performance is of interest (and I think that was
the original concern), it's better, performance-wise, to
introduce a separate action (PICKZ, PIK, Zick, pickle,
whatever) than to use a refinement with an action.
Additionally, adding refinements to the existing series
actions will impact their present performance, though to
what extent I don't really know.
With a new batch of actions, the user needs to be mindful of
what set of actions they're using and not to mix them, eg:
print [
"I am using"
pickz which: [1 0] index? next which
"base indexing."
]
would print:
I am using none base indexing.
(Which would sort of be true.)
