Thanks for the explanantions. I didn't consider the op! error. 

Have you seen this?

any-string! is word of value: any-string

of VALUE: any-string. Hmmmmmm...... any-string is a value?

Is any-string a pseudo-value? ;-)

Other than that: I think that explaining in the manual how make behaves
when it deals with pseudo-types and some datatypes that cannot be used
protoypical should be sufficient. I wouldn't want to see REBOL Tech
refining the error reporting system for make, because of a minor detail
just now, when there are far more important things for them to do, such as
fixing the garbage collection hidden context interaction and releasing
announced commercial REBOL products.
