Hi Ladislav, On Saturday, August 31, 2002, 8:28:43 PM, you wrote: LM> I am still curious, if many Rebol users prefer to allow UNSET! valued LM> expressions (eventually why?). There's no reason to have them, and that's just likely to be an implementation issue with the current interpreter (it needs unset! for unset words, and once you have that is pretty natural to have:
>> f: func [] [return]
return unset!, being RETURN's argument unset; so they have probably decided that empty blocks should have returned unset! too...)

I was looking in your site to see what you intend for an illegal error, but I wasn't able to find it.
