[REBOL] Re: [REBOL]How to distinguish between rebol values (native, action, valu

Hi Tim
Actually there are the following kinds of "functions" in REBOL, all of which
will test true using any-function?
function! Example: APPEND
A function written in REBOL either by the user or a mezzanine included with
the REBOL distribution
native! Example: SINE
A compiled function existing only as native code (x86, etc)
action! Example: FIRST
A polymorphic compiled function (set up to apply to many different
data-types)
op! Example: +
An infix operator existing only as native code
You can use help to get a list for each of these types. For example:
>> help op!
Found these words:
* (op)
** (op)
+ (op)
- (op)
/ (op)
// (op)
< (op)
<= (op)
<> (op)
= (op)
== (op)
=? (op)
> (op)
>= (op)
and (op)
or (op)
xor (op)
>>
