| Summary | set-theoretical operations do not work on blocks of datatype values |
|---|---|
| Description |
Observing that to-block on a typeset produces a block of datatype values, I tried the following: difference system/catalog/datatypes to-block any-type! (this should give end!, the only one that is not in any-type!) To my disappointment, there was an error message. The others (intersect, union etc.) also do not work. Comparison of datatype values for equality is not forbidden, and that is all that difference has to do. Note that the operations do work on the typesets themselves! |
| Example code |
>> difference system/catalog/datatypes to-block any-type! ** Script error: datatype! type is not allowed here >> (last to-block any-type!) == (last system/catalog/datatypes) == true ; comparison of datatypes is feasible - this expression uses the fact that both blocks are ordered >> difference make typeset! system/catalog/datatypes any-type! == make typeset! [end!] |

You should probably mention in a comment here the list of functions that need to be fixed. |
