[REBOL] "logical" value referencing ... Re:(4)

Elan raised several interesting points.  To minimize message size,
I'll split up my part of the conversation.

The interpreter thinks that it is.

    >> help datatype?
    Returns TRUE for datatype values.
    Arguments:
        value --  (any-type)
    >> datatype? any-string!
    == true

My personal bias is that Elan is correct in calling this a bug.  The
snag is that this remains only a matter of opinion absent a clear,
authoritative specification for types and pseudotypes.
