VECTORS should be extendable. #1326

Open rebolbot opened 14 years ago

The use of vectors is limited because they can't be extended, like all other series.

INSERT, APPEND not allowed.

Currently, series? returns true for a vector. The current documentation for insert and append suggests that support all series! types. This appears inconsistent.

>> a: make vector! [integer! 16 [10 20 30 ]] 
== make vector! [integer! 16 3 [
10 20 30
]]
>> series? a                                 
== true
>> ? insert

USAGE:

    INSERT series value /part length /only /dup count

DESCRIPTION:

    Inserts into a series and returns the series after the insert. (Modifies)
    INSERT is an action value.

ARGUMENTS:

    series -- Series at point to insert (series! port! map! gob! object! bitset! port!)
    value -- The value to insert (any-type!)
