I'm certainly glad I added the "(possibly idiotic)" to the subject
line of my first post! ;-)
<blush> Yes. That's what I meant. </blush>

OK. Now for (possibly idiotic) question 3. When I correct the
function's definition per the above (header omitted for brevity) ...
types: [
any-block? any-block!
any-function? any-function!
any-string? any-string!
any-type? any-type!
any-word? any-word!
]
checktype: func [
arg
][
foreach [qry typ] types [
b: reduce [qry arg]
print mold b
]
]
... and retry, I get the following ...
>> do %describe.r
>> checktype 3
[
any-block? 3]
[
any-function? 3]
[
any-string? 3]
[
any-type? 3]
[
any-word? 3]
>>
... but changing the source code layout of the 'types block to a single
low (wrapped) line ...
types: [ any-block? any-block! any-function? any-function!
any-string? any-string! any-type? any-type! any-word? any-word! ]
... produces a result of ...
>> do %describe.r
>> checktype 3
[any-block? 3]
[any-function? 3]
[any-string? 3]
[any-type? 3]
[any-word? 3]

This baffles me greatly, as I thought that non-quoted whitespace was
not significant. Any more words of wisdom for a poor dummy?
