Same with source parse

(tested with OS 0.13.2, 92171dcf, nodebug)

Bug, and it's a consequence of this, which I know is inconvenient to absorb but I believe it is converging on the right answer:

Sorry there's so much to learn, but I'm trying to get things right! :-)

Here's a bit of a fix:

https://github.com/metaeducation/ren-c/commit/3fff2bd17f92c1e1ad47b201b209d7e64e20424b

(Please see also the post where I discuss the NULL vs. BLANK! for APPEND etc.)

Though bear in mind that SOURCE has never really been retooled for ADAPTs, ENCLOSEs, SPECIALIZEs etc. (and there are limits there to what is possible).

So it really is best to go to the place in the source where things are defined. I'd like us to make it easier to get at that information (file/line #) which we actually do have (!)
