| Summary | binary! should not be a part of any-string! |
|---|---|
| Description |
The binary! type is not like strings - its contents are 1-byte integers, not Unicode characters. We should consider removing binary! from the any-string! typeset. It would still be a series!, but not a string. The functions that take strings would need to be reviewed to see whether they depend on character elements either way. This is high priority because the decision needs to be made now. This is similar to the debate going on about image! and bitset! in series!. Discuss here or in R3 chat. Dismiss if binary! is to remain in any-string!, mark built for the appropriate alpha if not. |

I have no problem with binary! not being as a part of any-string! |

I agree to have it outside any-string; all other types in any-string are character strings, this one has bytes (not the same anymore) |

binary! served well as any-string! in R2. E.g. when parsing binary we followed the string rules, not the block rules. |

Well, in R3 binary parsing would need to be different since the underlying data is different. We could use the same dialect operations if we like, though that may be limiting.
We should go over the parse proposals again. I think they could use some restructuring, with type-specific operations grouped. |

Changed this to a bug, and rephrased accordingly. |

The change has been made in A60. Begin testing there. More work needed. |
