Hi Steve
Yes, that is correct. The mezzanine functions are those which are written in
REBOL, but built-in. They sometimes provide a higher-level interface to some
underlying native functions which may be dangerous or undocumented or just
plain inconvenient. In other cases, they are just handy shortcuts. In any
case, you can examine them with SOURCE.
