Thanks for the ideas. It is always good to see how other people would do
something. I find that very useful. It's a bit like having your pronunciation
corrected when learning another language.
Fess-up time. My original code had the inevitable bug, only--as
usual--noticed too late. If you change decimal-sep and thousands-sep, eg:
thousands-sep: "."
decimal-sep: ","
it goes wrong because it assumes Rebol is using the same decimal-sep
internally. Of course it isn't. I still need a literal "." for handling the
decimal while it's still a number.
Sunanda.
