Hello Romano!
On 06-Lug-01, you wrote:

Is there any reason you can't use:
tipo: 'string!
or
tipo: type?/word value-to-check
RT> tipo: string! switch tipo compose [ (reduce string!) [print
RT> "switched"]]
You can remove the REDUCE here.
RT> Compose reduce a little.
Hmm... I don't this it will be any faster (slower, maybe). Anyway,
you'll usually do this only once so this is not a problem.
Also, notice that:
>> switch string! ["" [print "A-ha!"]]
A-ha!
which is probably simples, provided you're dealing with types
that can be represented literally (lexically?).
Regards,
Gabriele.
