| Summary | numerical refinements have type any-word! => inconsistency |
|---|---|
| Description |
typeset any-word! includes refinement! not all refinements are of the form /word, though this leads to inconsistency |
| Example code |
>> to-word /1 == 1 >> type? to-word /1 == word! >> type? load mold to-word /1 == integer! |

All refinements are words, syntax differences aside. They can be bound - the important part of being in any-word! - and they even have single instance storage.
What your example code shows is that TO-WORD can generate words that when molded, can't be loaded as words. This is a separate issue that has been with us since the beginning of REBOL. |

I've reopened this ticket because it is problematic to validate such function refinements during function definition (we'd have to validate every refinement word of every function!). It's better we discover them earlier, throwing them as invalid words during lexical translation.

Such words are now more strictly validated and will throw a syntax error. |
