I am probably behind you all on this thread, but
when I tried it I was surprised. Rebol may have
always been this way and I just didn't notice before?
Interesting!
>> make block! 0
== []
>> make list! 0
== make list! []
>> mold make list! [stuff and more stuff]
== "make list! [stuff and more stuff]"
>> mold make block! [stuff and more stuff]
== "[stuff and more stuff]"
So there is a fundamental difference
between them?
I had thought the list would behave like block itself.
When I see the list reported like that it reminds
me of make object! in the way that mold or probe
return it.
