[REBOL] Re: Rebol pickling recipes ?
From: anton:lexicon at: 5-Oct-2002 11:50
The difference is that datatype information is
lost sometimes. See:
type? load mold none ; == word!
type? load mold/all none ; == none!
mold converted none to a string! "none", then
load converted it to a word! 'none.
mold/all converted none to a special new syntax which
load understands and which preserves the datatype
information: "#[none]"
Now when that is loaded you get the true rebol
value that you started with: none, which has
datatype none!
Other values also have the same problem, and are
solved in the same way.
The /all refinement of mold is only available in
the latest betas, and in Rebol/Base.
