[REBOL] Re: One-Liners back in town!

Gerard et al,
I love all the clever things people are coming up with but I can also
see where some kind of line will have to be drawn. With REBOL, you
could probably do almost anything on one line, and we could write a
script that turns things into one liners automatically if we were so
inclined.
If we do end up with a special library category for this kind of
thing, maybe there is more than one way to look at it. There is great
value in one-liners that show how to upload a file via FTP for
example. Very handy that. The more we cram in, though, the more we get
into the "obfuscated REBOL" world where fun is more important than
utility.
For me, I'd rather nto eliminate all unneccessary whitespace just to
try and fit things in 80 characters, but if there's an obfuscated
REBOL category, then that's the place to do it. :)
