| Summary | PRIN and PRINT handle unset! values differently |
|---|---|
| Description |
PRIN and PRINT handle unset! values differently: PRINT handles them (accepts [any-type!]), PRIN generates an error (no type spec). This is a regression when compared to R2. PRINT's behavior is preferable. Please add [any-type!] to the value parameter of PRIN. |
| Example code |
>> print [()] ?unset!? ; Same as R2, plus the ! >> prin [()] ?unset!? ; Same as R2, plus the ! >> print () ?unset!? ; An improvement over R2 >> prin () ** Script error: prin does not allow unset! for its value argument |

Updated the description and example code to be less confusing.
I would prefer that PRIN be changed to match PRINT's behavior. This would probably just mean adding [any-type!] to PRIN's type spec. |
