I am trying to understand ... 10 + 10 means something to the Rebol interpretation process, but 10+10 does not have the same meaning, yet you say it can be given different meaning. Are you implying that the expected operands and the attributes of the operands to a built-in primitive function can be respecified? Or are you saying "10+10" can be given new meaning as if though a user-defined function? Help here please?
