Hi,

I am not sure If I am alone missing the so called soft-seeking
capability in REBOL? What's the point?

Let's assume the following series:

blk: [1 2 3 6 7 8 9]

find blk 4 returns currently none, but there are cases, when you want to
return the nearest value ...

e.g. I have block of files built from dates:

20001101 2001102 2001105 ...

the problem is - we don't download data on weekends. Then my user
selects he wants report starting at 1.1.2000, ending at 30.11.2000. But
what if 1.1.2000 is a weekend day? The search in block will not be
succesfull ...

If some kind of find/soft would exists, it could return the nearest
value found ... (the same behavior for /reverse seeking)

The problem is our series can contain mixture of various datatypes ....
So, is it even achievable?

Hope someone understands what I want to express :-)

Cheers,
-pekr-
