[REBOL] Re: Fun with blocks of words (a tad longish)

Hi Gabriele,
you have got the right to see it like that. The biggest problem with it is,
that it isn't useful for decribing BLOCK1 and BLOCK2 below:
element: copy []
block1: reduce [element element]
block2: reduce [element copy element]
I would prefer to say, that: "BLOCK1 contains two identical elements".
Another possibility is to say, that: "The values at the first and the second
place of BLOCK1 are identical".
As opposed to that: "BLOCK2 contains two discernible elements", or : "The
values at the first and the second place of BLOCK2 are discernible".
That doesn't mean, that I am saying, that the first and the second place of
BLOCK1 or BLOCK2 are identical. They aren't (see
http://www.rebolforces.com/articles/series.html ).
This terminology looks more useful to me.
Ciao
Ladislav
