[REBOL] Re: parse consumption

Great Ladislav!
That seems to have done it.
I remember the discussion on this before now.
It is easy to forget these little things.
Your comments below made me realise that:
if I remove a part of the input string,
starting before the internal pointer,
and ending after the internal pointer,
then I should move the internal pointer
back *before* I do the remove.
This way there is no chance back in the
parse dialect for the internal pointer
to "realise" that it is after the end of the
input string.
I agree with your proposed behaviour for parse.
I suppose you have submitted this idea
to feedback a long time ago?
It might also be submitted with more urgency
because such a dangerous removal can crash rebol.
Anton.
