that would make probe a little obsure ... probe is meant to show what the code
is ... internally. If you want to make a datatype based format print or probe,
then user should just implement this:
dprobe: func [data][
switch/defsault type?/word [
object! [dump-obj data data]
binary! [dump-binary data data]
;--- add you favorite datatypes here--- :-)
][
probe data data
]
]
its so easy to do that there is no point in obfuscating probe IMHO...
