[REBOL] Interleaving of strings question Re:(5) (UnRebolish commentary)

Yes this has nothing to do with Rebol in the strictest sense. Mea Culpa. Regarding this whole interleaving debate might I submit that I never intended to seed a thread around the validity of interleaving as an optimal method of performing complex and or seamless geospatial calculations. But while I'm here and the thread is active I'll mention that I just needed some Rebol code to explore the concept on a practical and or intellectual level. The method I described is only one variation on this theme, as some of you illustrated by recasting it in different forms. What I described was actually a bastard child from a specific method involving binary interleaving along with some other features that I could not possibly explain off the top of my head without the original source material. I truncated the method description intentionally for the sake of being able to pose my real request for Rebol parsing methods. And yes the method does break down across boundaries and goes for a tilt in a big way at the poles. In the absence of higher level support the concept fails in a variety of ways that make it a poor contender for a fully functioning GIS. Do not attempt to do anything more serious than a napkin sketch of this method without the supervision of an adult or perhaps an attending physician unless you wish to go numerically mad with something akin to a division by zero. Thanks for the feedback, it was most enlightening and informative.
