[REBOL] Re: printing debug info

Hi Pat,
p> As many of us I suppose, I am used to put a lot of 'print in
p> my code for debugging purpose. The problem is how to get rid

p> One way I have found goes like this:
p> debug-print: :print
p> a: ["This is a test" 1 28-01-2003]
p> debug-print [a]
p> And when I want to get rid of these prints, I use the following
p> debug-print: :comment
p> I am wondering if there are better ways and if PREBOL could help here?
I think what you're doing is a pretty common approach. Even Carl does
it. :) With the conditional directives available in PREBOL, I'm sure
you could use that as well, to keep things from being included in the
final output script, but I haven't done that to know what the simplest
way is.
