"But Synthetica", I hear you say, "isn't that a downgrade?".
That's what I originally thought as well! So I emailed the maintainer
for the only other repo that had J on version 808, BSD FreePorts. Since
they also didn't know what was going on here, I emailed Jsoftware
themselves. I got a lovely email back from Mr. Iverson (Jr. I presume?)
himself:
So it has been confirmed from the horse's mouth that this _is_ the
correct version to be on.
I also re-enabled all the tests, since they all pass now, enabled the
build on ARM and Darwin (I don't have access to either kind of machine,
but I don't see why it wouldn't work), and added myself as a maintainer.
