[REBOL] Problem with try [ open/direct/binary tcp://... ] Re:(9)

Hi Joel,
Regarding your two messages in response to Gabriele's reasonable assertion
that
INSERT shouldn't use FORM when inserting a BINARY!
You seem to have misunderstood Gabriele to be talking about JOIN where I
believe the statement was simply about INSERT. Maybe it was because you
missed this snippet of the message:
>> head insert tail copy #{0123} #{0123} ; eq. to join
== #{01230123}
but:
>> head insert tail copy #{0123} [#{0123}]
== #{0123237B303132337D}
I would have expected that both lines should have the same result.
The second example is equivalent to
>> head insert tail copy #{0123} form #{0123}
== #{0123237B303132337D}
Converting the value argument of insert clearly looks erroneous.
Brett.
PS I've enjoyed reading your recent investigations into the language and
performance of Rebol. With a little time, I'll be re-reading them. Keep up
the good work!
