more to do with keeping RB "basic" for "basic's sake" and "Nanny-

rather than anything to do with assisting programmers write good
and fast
code.
the only objection in my mind is it would break tens of thousands of
lines of my code across lots of projects.
besides, much of the use of memoryblocks to date is to store
structures for passing to and from declares, these aren't packed
blocks of similar bytes. if the struct is short, int32, short - how
would i reference the int32? index of .5?
