Once upon a time I used to daydream of a technology merge with Rebol and
LiveCode. Probably not in any way compatible under the hood, and
chances are you and I may be the only two people in either camp who
might enjoy such a chimera. But it was a pleasant dream just the same.
Carl seems like a fascinating person, likely very excellent dinner
conversation.

I'm not so sure. At first I was, but after Mark and Mark explained how
common the ? convention is elsewhere I'm inclined to think that the most
important thing is that the library works as *you* want it to, and if
others learn a thing or two along the way as I did so much the better.
