[REBOL] Conversion bug?
From: joel::neely::fedex::com at: 4-Oct-2000 8:39
The following appears to be buggy.
>> to-string "hi"
== "hi"
>> to-binary to-string "hi"
== #{6869}
>> to-binary "hi"
== #{6869}
...no surprise...
>> to-string first ["hi"]
== "hi"
>> to-binary to-string first ["hi"]
== #{6869}
>> to-binary first ["hi"]
== #{6869}
...still no surprise...
>> to-string ["hi"]
== "hi"
>> to-binary to-string ["hi"]
== #{6869}
>> to-binary ["hi"]
** Script Error: Invalid argument: hi.
** Where: to binary! :value
...LUMPY GRAVY! Not only is it a big surprise that the conversion
fails, the error message is highly misleading!
I suspect either the conversion failure, the error message, or
both to be bugged.
