No, it is not.
Examples:
my-join: func [series1 [series!] series2 [series!]] [append copy
series1 series2]
rather than:
my-join: func [
series1 [binary! block! email! file! hash! issue! list! paren!
path! string! tag! url!]
series2 [binary! block! email! file! hash! issue! list! paren!
path! string! tag! url!]
] [
append copy series1 series2
]
Not counting the fact that if a new version of REBOL adds a new series
type, you don't need to change your code to account for it.
