In talking about REBOL, the term VALUE is overloaded to mean both the
place whether the value is stored, and the content of that place.

Concerning /View:
Mr. "Timewarp" submitted some items to rebol.org and the page looks like
this.
Notice the rebol date stamp is good...but the other date say 27-Dec-11999.
But perhaps the script that updates rebol.org is computing base on a string!

the use of dialects. After that, the OS no more matters.

Hi,
I am not trying to argue about your personal preferences, but allow me two

1) what is the meaning of "result" in the case:

2) What would you choose from the four choices:

what I was trying to say, is that for integer values in Rebol you can have
only one state, because they are immutable. That means, that you may say:

but this is correct too:

, because there is no way in Rebol to change it to a different
