Expanding rebol-syntax?
I start having some trouble with this:
"do it this way. you need a current version of rebol"
specially when non-gurus talk to others.
they try it, it works, they tell it, it breaks.
rebol is meant for messaging between humans,
and explainung about rebol should be part of the picture.
currently rebol works very well (few exceptions).
One should be very carefull to change things.
each change may help a bit, but it needs an explanation
everytime it is used
("it works this way, except except except..")
for private fun "introducing new letters" is ok of course :)
