[REBOL] Re: How to use Hash index

Hi Gabriele,

Hmmmm, I *suppose* that counts. ;)
For those of you who don't know, what Gabriele posted is the
serialized format of a hash, which can now be used directly.
>> mold h
== "make hash! [A [a b c] B [1 2 3] C [! * ~]]"
>> mold/all h
== "#[hash![A [a b c] B [1 2 3] C [! * ~]]]"
