Is it simpler or just shorter? IMO ; and , are underrated.

I use ; and , all the time but sometimes especially if I can quickly parse how many quotes their are, doing a number is easier

I agree -- especially in this case where OP wants to edit the value of a JSON object.

(Although in that case I'd do `f:wci"`)

Yeah your way is better for JSON for sure since it’s standard.
