| Summary | REFLECT datatype! ignores FIELD argument |
|---|---|
| Description | SPEC-OF a DATATYPE! value yields information about the type. It turns out that TITLE-OF etc. yield the same information, even REFLECT with a nonsense word as second parameter. |
| Example code |
>> spec-of integer!
== make object! [
title: "64 bit integer"
type: 'scalar
]
>> reflect integer! 'spec
== ;; the same
>> reflect integer! 'x
== make object! [
title: "64 bit integer"
type: 'scalar
] ;; again the same

There is some logic to this: the type of the first argument of REFLECT dictates the allowable values of the second argument, so the first argument is tested first, and in the case of a DATATYPE! the test on the second argument is simply forgotten. |

Still, the REFLECT action of datatype! should do a little screening, if only to allow more reflectors to be added later. |

Also: reflectors like title should return the title string. Fixed. |
