Would there be sufficient utility for a null-move atom (say, S for "stay")? It could be a handy shorthand for the Japanese Lion or the Zero, rather than mabK, but I'm not sure what other utility it would have... maybe to activate spells or area-effect captures without actually moving? (Now that I think on it, it might be simpler to just allow K0 for that sort of thing.)
I also had hoped that multiple uses of j on a slider would continue to increase the size of the initial leap, such as jjB (or something similar, like j2B) where the Bishop's first step is three spaces, but no such luck. I guess bracket notation ([nG?fB]) will have to do for now.
