[REBOL] Re: Strange behaviour in Make object?

RE: [REBOL] Re: Strange behaviour in Make object? I think RT handles this somewhat lazy. when accessing objects from c, its easier and faster to do this by index instead of searching the object for name (i think). with 'port! they have a clean solution. 'port! is like an object, but c can check. if its a port!, it has the right order. if no 'port!, its rejected. so we should have face! and that too, instead of allowing objects there. but i expect adding new datatypes! is somewhat expensive in current implementation, and the only drawback today is telling "you have to use [make face]. thats by design". instead of checking it. so some guis have to figure around instead of getting a helpfull clean message. there was and now i give word to the experts: [REBOL] Re: view bug (with feel attribute) [holger--rebol--com] wrote:
