By the Dictionary:
"empty? This is a synonym for TAIL? The check is made relative to the
current location in the series."
Most of the problems here seem to be semantics. When we create a
series, we (usually) assign a variable to a location in that series.
But the variable and the series are two

If one insists on establishing two words referring to the same data,
then before one clears one he should 'unset the other.
Personally, I'd like a determination from REBOL Tech on whether "using
two words to refer to the same data" is bad practice, or whether we're
just encounting bugs in some

The sequence in Scheme is not analogous. It is analogous to the following

Hi Eric,
Clearing from the head of the data while you've got other pointers farther
along in the series doesn't make sense, which is no doubt why this bug has
taken so long to be discovered.
Oh well, different things make sense to different people. I think that the
evaluation of a sequence of

It's important to note that the (defective) behaviour is consistent

I'm not sure how you mean this
Hi Elan
I agree. There is definitely a bug. And it is much worse than just getting
an error message.

Wow. You may never know just how right on the money the above
statement is! It is a very good analogy.In fact, in the same
sense, all of REBOL is a movie, and all variables are frames of the
big REBOL movie. :-)

Maybe so. It's sad an extra layer of logic has to be added

I was thinking the exact same thing. Do you thing it will introduce a
