[REBOL] Re: On list! inconsistency [was Re: WYSIWYG programming]

Speaking of lists, I was wondering why it is even considered a series datatype. About
half of the series functions (such as 'reverse, etc..) either don't work, or work differently
than other series datatypes. I would think since lists are different from other series
datatypes, it makes more sense for it to be it's own datatype with it's own special functions
such as:
list-insert (instead of insert)
list-remove
etc..
While I'm on the subject of series functions - anyone know how to over-ride the default
behaivor of 'insert function as follows:
insert: func [item][insert list item]
also tried:
insert-item: :insert
insert: func[item] [insert-item list item]
and some other stuff with no success.
