True.

Like this: x: func [n][probe n] x 'a-path/blah == a-path/blah I've decided that I wouldn't be ultimately happy with using a lit-path! anyway, so I'd check out the protocol idea. All we need to do is distinguish from url!, so we can use a string! or a block! with the path in it. But your example leads to an "interesting thing": to-lit-path %/a-path/blah == '/a-path//blah ; <- double slash and note also to-lit-path %/a-path/blah/dog == '/a-path//blah//dog ; <- two double slashes Is this a bug, or just escapism? Has anyone else reported this? Anton.
