Jürgen mentioned recently that this won't be implemented, but I'll let
him speak for himself.
Anyway, you can use left to achieve something similar:
{ A+1 ⊣ A ← ⍵ } 2
3
It has the added benefit that it can be read right to left, which feels
more natural in APL (at least in my opinion), since it follows the usual
order of evaluation.
