[REBOL] Re: Prefix colon question

From: al:bri:xtra at: 2-Jun-2002 10:44

The difference between:
        c
    and:
        :c
    is that ":c" doesn't evaluate the value of "c".

>> o: make object! [m: 123]
>> c: first [o/m]
== o/m
>> probe :c
o/m
== o/m
>> probe c
123
== 123

>> f: func [arg] [print ["I'm F!" arg "I've been evaluated!"]]
>> f 123
I'm F! 123 I've been evaluated!
>> probe :f
func [arg][print ["I'm F!" arg "I've been evaluated!"]]
