Suggestion: [ Errata ]
[1/5] from: rebolinth:nodep:dds:nl at: 14-Mar-2002 21:14
Hiya all,
Erata on my function to-positve and to-negative..already!..bad day :)
(1) they should also cover /money /binary and long not only integer
(2) to-positive should do an extra if (cut&paste error)
(3) to-negative should have a better description. postive != negative
(4) perhpas the func should become to-opposit and cover also strings
(4) befor i ever post a suggestion inhere again ill better check twise,
anyway the proposal still stands...:-)
(R)egards,
Norman.

Hiya all,
Well yes im still in stage one, moving towards stage two ;-)
Never encountered Negative and abs until now so it was a stupid example,
but still im wondering about the proposal listing which was my initial
message ;-)

Hi Norman,
I'm one of those people that wants to see /Core kept as small as possible.
Since REBOL provides ABS and NEGATE, I don't know if I'd bother adding
to-positive and to-negative to /Core, since you can add them so easily
yourself.
to-positive: :abs
to-negative: func [value] [negate abs value]

Hi Norman,
<<...but still im wondering about the proposal listing which was my initial

I think RT monitors the list enough to know what topics stir up a lot of
traffic, and there's always the feedback.r script. For me, knowing how much
time I *don't* have, coming up with a good solution (e.g. a database and
viewer where people could propose and discuss features) is more than I have
time to build. I can envision some nice solutions, but lack the time to
pursue them currently.
