Type alternatives in system dialect commands #51

Open rebolbot opened 17 years ago

Right now, as far as I can tell, the system dialects specify commands with a series of (optional?) arguments of only one fixed type. I would like to be able to specify that a particular argument could be one of a number of types. This could be done by puting all of the possible types of a particular argument in a block at the argument's position in the dialect specification.

Several of the rebcode opcodes use commands of this nature, as do some of the opcodes of parse.

DELECT now allows TYPESETS for any combination of types.
