I think REBOL gets confused whether it's all about a tag or about
comparison or both.
When typing
>> <<tag>>
REBOL shows:
** Script Error: Operator is missing an argument
** Near: <<tag> >
To me it seems that REBOL means the last > being the operator.
As you can see it also stands out in the error message!
When I try:
>> <<tag>> <tap>
== false
REBOL seems to compare the two tags <tag> and <tap> somehow
