[REBOL] Re: REBOL Enhancement Proposals (REPs)

Hi, Andrew,
I was recently startled into believing that they're more than
similar...
>> something: []
== []
>> foreach item [a/b/c d/e] [append something :item]
== [a b c d e]
>> length? something
== 5
vs
>> something: []
== []
>> foreach item [a/b/c d/e] [append/only something :item]
== [a/b/c d/e]
>> length? something
== 2
Which, I'll admit, was quite a surprise to me!
