Hi Holger, Thanks for the excellent discussion of this often confusing topic. It would be of great benefit to all REBOL programmers, if this material were present in the REBOL documentation. It should include mention of the "properties" of each REBOL type accessible to the programmer. The REBOL learning curve would be greatly improved, as I think many of us proceed on the basis of a somewhat incorrect mental model of values, etc. and then find ourselves caught short when something unexpected happens.
