IMHO, commas sh

No *you* want syntax errors.  I want to load %kingjames.txt  and 
call sort.   ;)

...should be hendled like newline in code

This is why I prefer the fallback method, so the errors can be handled 
right away before they corrupt your data.

...appearing only when molded

What corruption?   $10,000,000.00 handled as foreign!  is not that 
much different than  do [abcd] when abcd has no value, no?

Right, and that throws an error.

so do [$10,000,000.00] throws, but   a: [$10,000,000.00] is accepted 
as foreign!

If it throws an error, you can't parse it.

(ok i'm in a big trouble now, my bottle of whisky is empty)

Yeah, but throw on do, not on make.  No?

I have a variety of booze here, and thanks for reminding me Steeve 
:)

Can't you see how cool it would be to let a person   load %textfile.txt 
and do analysis?  With foreign! sitting there ready to trigger if 
evaluated?

Errors throw on eval.

How about letting them do
    load/else %textfile.txt 'string

Absolutely.  And ship that with Core.  I'll stop whining and whinging. 
  ;)

That is what I mean by the fallback approach. We could even provide 
a transform function argument :)

just a question: IIRC, we will be able to build our own rebol distro 
to include our own mezzanines, right Brian ?

Some time ago we discussed this on a blog post.  Carl had some valid 
concerns about "where to restart the lexical scan", but I trust him 
and you and Gabriele to get that right, in an explainable way.   
So yes.

But ... come think.  The fallback now leads to professionals wondering 
if the human data was entered in quotes as string! or a fallback 
coercion....so I'd still go for a psuedostring! type to differentiate. 
 Maybe?

I don't know the name of the option, and I wouldn't be able to start 
implementing it until TRANSCODE gets more work.

Steeve, you will be able to build your own host. The core will still 
be the core. All of the platform-specific code is in the host.

You can also replace mezzanines by importing modules with your own 
functions.

so the debate is over, i will include the mezzanines i want for my 
distros

I can't wait to plug the C version of liquid within R3 and be able 
to browse associations using paths!   :-)

Forget "distros", you will be able to make programs :)

MAxim, don't talk about "liquid" i have not anymore

brian..... do you mean:


deliver: make program! true

?  ;-)

steeve what do you mean?

He's out.

He's out of whiskey.

aaaahhhh

I'd send you a little down the tubes (if they were indeed tubes...)

it's not funny...

.

Wow, the dot works :)

Brian you can find many other keys on your keyboard, they are funny 
too

I mean that AltME crashed on me twice in 5 minutes, and when I got 
back all of the messages in this group were gone. After the dot, 
the messages came back. Yay! I hate AltME.

as Master Reichart said, it's not Altme, but you surely downloaded 
some weird stuffs like porn movies

No, in my case it is AltME, or more specificly the blocking file 
access, single-threaded REBOL 2 it is built in. I get a lot of freezes.

Why is Brian here ... he should be working!

he's planning to working, as most of us

LOL

I was working. I just fixed LOAD, DO and CLEAN-PATH, and they will 
be incorporated tomorrow. The current build has built-in functions 
to get to DocBase, RebDev and CureCode. We're really close to release.

cool

The LOAD function above is likely to be the release version. The 
commented out options aren't done yet :(

Anyways, I was working *here*. The fallback option is likely to get 
implemented :)

Thanks to the people who argued with me, you'll have better code 
as a result :)

am I alone thinking, that ability to load junk by default is utter 
nonsense?
