>>> t: to-tuple "1.1"
> == 1.1.0
Interesting. Taken to extremes:
>> t: to-tuple "1"
== 1.0.0
>> length? t
== 1
>> t: to-tuple ""
== 0.0.0
>> length? t
== 1
>>
but how usefull is all this? ;)

Hi
The Docs and Tutorials are awesome compared to many
other languages/tools/compilers docs but are very
informal.
In the section about the tuples in quickstart it's not
stated that a tuple must at least have 3 elements. So
I said to myself "there should be some ambiguity
between decimals and tu
It is easy to find somethings out from the console:
type? 1.1
type? 1.1.2
If it is an object then you can probe it to find out information:
a: make object! [b: "test" c: 12 d: 1.87]
probe a
probe a/d
type? a/d

Hi again,
Without knowing much I think 1.1 is a decimal but nevertheless
it can be used for both datatypes. However you'll have to use
the 'to-tuple word to ask REBOL to convert the decimal
to the second one as is :
my-tuple: to-tuple 1.1
print type? my-tuple
May be others can help better,

Let's ask Rebol:
>> type? 1.1
== decimal!
According to Rebol, 1.1 is a decimal value.

Decimal, a tuple must have at least three components. Perhaps pair! is
what you want? ;)
