No. I did post the behavior as bug. As per Gabriele's
advice.

Perhaps we should call it "poor code" as opposed to
"bug" <grin>...

rebol is a work in progress. I agree with you on some of
your opinions but this is the way I think of it:
I now code regularly in 3 other languages besides rebol:
python
javascript
elisp
If I've been working in any of those three for some time,
and go back to rebol I feel like I've gone from a big
truck to a sports car and the wind is in my face!
In time of sheer productivity line-for-line, rebol beats all
of those above.
Two striking examples are the 'ml protocol which is *sooo* much
nicer to use than the python HtmlGen module and pdf-maker is way
more efficient that reportlab, in my experience.
Stay tuned!
