[REBOL] postfix?

Roll over again, Charles (Moore)! REBOL/view 1 2.1 3 1 seems to have
abandoned the postfix format "arg1 arg2 operator" for + - * / add subtract
multiply divide, but no one on this list seems to be disturbed. My two game
programs for pre-view REBOL will have to be extensively revised, as I, an
old Forther, made frequent use of postfix operators in them! I must admit,
accommodating the postfix *and* infix (arg1 operator arg2) probably was
quite a problem for RT, and "coming down" on the side of infix is better for
the now-generation of programmers. But I'll miss postfix, it seemed closer
to the hardware (stack organized), which is where I started in computing.
