Ah, you're right. I like it.
No, wait! I just thought of something better! It should return 'perhaps ! Think about
it, by just adding the 'perhaps state to the logic! datatype, the whole computer
science can be rebolutionized, allowing a computer to honestly admit its total
confusion about what you just asked! We're writing history, here!
The next step will be adding the 'Im-sorry-Dave-Im-afraid-I-cant-do-that error in
REBOL/9000.
N.B.: :-)
I was serious in the "I like it" part only. :-)
