[REBOL] Challenging script idea Re:(2)
From: grantwparks:ya:hoo at: 30-Aug-2000 8:37
Could this script evolve in the following ways?
1. Ignore header info like author, date and comments
2. Ignore a difference in URLs, filenames, etc. when
they are the target of a particular verb. I.E. if I
read a URL, but the specific value differs, the 2
scripts are still doing the same thing. In fact the
coolest thing I can think of in this case would be
reporting that "these 2 scripts are functionally the
same, but the first operates on URL:
http://www.url1.com and the second on
http://www.url2.com..."
Don't mean to put the work on others, but I have
barely had the time to even dabble with Rebol, yet
(hey, 'dabble with Rebol' has a cool ring to it!). I
do, however, have a knack for grammars and other
meta/abstraction concepts. And since one can look at
the template of any defined function at run time, it
seems possible to determine which tokens have
significance in a context, and which have none or
less. Sort of like being able to determine that "the
names have been changed to protect the innocent", but
the story's the same. What dost thou think?
