[REBOL] Re: adding line hints when building blocks

Hi Gregg,
>From memory I think the only way to add a line hint is by loading a string.
>> block-with-line-hint: load {[^/]}
== [
]
You can insert this block into another.
>> test-block: copy []
== []
>> insert/only test-block block-with-line-hint
== []
>> test-block
== [[
]]
But as far as I can tell as soon as this block is evaluated - it loses it's
hint.
I think the only feasible alternative is to form a string with the line hint
and indentation you need.
And I'd really like a pretty formatter for scripts too. Clean script is good
but I don't
want to have to add line breaks at beginings of blocks.
If I remember, Joel created style-x something
that mangled comments, but might be enough for just data blocks.
