Hi pat665,

The new betas also allow to write:
test: [#[false] #[false] #[false]]
p> How come it is so ? I frankly do not understand !
FALSE is a word, which in the global context of a "plain" REBOL
interpreter has the value of a logic! "false". But if you don't
evaluate it, it is just a word!.
In the current release version of REBOL there is no way to make
LOAD return a value of some types (such as logic!, none!, object!,
function! etc.); you always need to do some evaluation. The beta
versions introduce MOLD/ALL and the new syntax to directly
represent all REBOL values.
Regards,
Gabriele.
