We should all be putting a "needs" in our headers. Then at least
people would realise they have the wrong version of REBOL instead of
thinking they've stumbled across a bug in the script. ie...
>> write %test.r {REBOL [Needs: [REBOL/View 1.2.1]] print "OK."}
>> do %test.r
OK.
>> write %test.r {REBOL [Needs: [REBOL/View 1.2.2]] print "OK."}
>> do %test.r
** Script Error: This script needs 1.2.2 or better to function
correctly
** Near: do %test.r
No use for our cut&paste example snippets, but important in proper
scripts I think.
