thanks for making the awesome q and making it free.
i use bash process substitution quite often (cutting the code of writing/reading files), and it works perfectly with q 2.0.19:
$ /Users/bisz/Downloads/q-x86_64-Darwin -v
q version 2.0.19
Python: 3.7.3 (default, Sep 9 2020, 19:20:35) // [Clang 7.3.0 (clang-703.0.31)]

$ echo $a
1
$ /Users/bisz/Downloads/q-x86_64-Darwin 'select * from '<(echo $a)
Warning: column count is one - did you provide the correct delimiter?
1but q 3.1.6 seems ignoring the entire data:
$ q -v
q version 3.1.6
Python: 3.8.11 (default, Jul 24 2021, 22:28:00) // [Clang 12.0.1 ]

$ \q 'select * from '<(echo $a)
Warning - data is empty
$ echo $a
1
$ \q 'select * from '<(echo $a)
Warning - data is emptyis it a bug, a behavior change, or somethign that i am missing?
