valueDiff for arrays?

[Mark Waddingham]

That isn't overloading put - that's introducing query expressions...

Which would (at least as far as filter currently goes - I have another as yet unstated reason for suggesting a revised syntax beyond stopping my own mental torture!) eliminate the need for filter into.

e.g 

the lines of X where Y

Could be something which would work anywhere an expression does.

However, small steps - the current filter code is tied to the filter command - so additions is easier to do there first as @Monte has demonstrated. 

Warmest Regards,

Mark.
