I cannot think of anything better than:
to-datatype: func [s [string!]] [
get to-word either #"!" = last s [s] [join s "!"]
]
or if you don't like depending on the fact that there are some
words referring to datatypes:
to-datatype: func [s [string!]] [
load rejoin ["#[datatype! " s either #"!" = last s ["]"] ["!]"]]
]
(The latter doesn't work on old versions.)

Gabriele.
