Hi, all

the fact is that the Rebol loader "understands" many date formats, so you can
pass to the loader the equivalent strings:

"2001-3-4"
"2001-Mar-4"
"2001/Mar/4"

and many others, the loader transform this strings in the (undocumented)
internal representation of a Rebol date datatype.

But when you mold it, like implicitly happens in your console example, Rebol
must select one serialized format among the others, and the format selected is
always:

    dd-mmm-yyyy

I should like to select diffrent serialized formats for many Rebol values,
like already happens for binary.

x: #{0A}
system/options/binary-base; == 16
x ;== #{0A}
system/options/binary-base: 2
x ; == 2#{00001010}
system/options/binary-base: 64
x ; == 64#{Cg==}


For example i should like to do:

system/options/decimals: "00,00"

and then

>> 1.0
01,00

the same for dates, time, and so on.
