Hm. Interesting proposition. Rye inherited email and URL data types from Rebol. I haven't done that much on them specifically, because they aren't that crucial to the design of the language dynamics, so their implementation certainly should be improved (ant thought about). The idea of making them more general certainly makes sense. Rye is "end-user" focused so it would maybe still be called email. URI-s right now can have different schemes. Scheme defines the kind of url and Rye has generic functions that dispatch on the kind of first argument. So there is: open file://readme.txt and open sqlite://db.s3db and open postgres://user@localhost/database "pwd" ... %path/notes.txt is also Rebolism and it's a shorthand for file://path/notes.txt Thank you. I will think about this cpath is currently a little specific, at least in behaviour as it's a context path to a word. Thank you for making this comment. I will think more about it and certanly reread it when I work on there datatypes next time.
