that is my "convention", that nobody else uses AFAIK, Allen just (as that
lazy... suggests) copied a part of the file IMHO. I do it when speaking
about Rebol values to distinguish them and the normal text. Example:
a: either b= 1[5] [6]
When refering to the code above I am trying to (as consistently as possible)
use A as a name for the Rebol integer value stored in the Rebol word 'A
(whether it is 5 or 6) as opposed to 'A, which denotes the Rebol word as
such.
That is why I speak about Refined (Rebol function) and 'Refined (Rebol
word).
My "convention" differs dramatically from Elan's, (maybe others use that
too), because what I call A he usually denotes 'a and what I call 'A he
usually denotes a (or A). I think, that from the above description is clear,
that either mine, or his "convention" looks as being "inside out" or "upside
down". When I wrote a HTML version of my
http://www.geocities.com/lmecir.geo/contexts.html, I used a different
convention
: I simply used a different font (Courier) for the same purpose
instead of initial capital letters, which may be even more readable (I
hope).
