Parameter Order in Rebol

But maybe there’s some other part of the language which is affected by parameter order. (Refinements? Not sure…)

Wanting to move refinements is actually a pretty big thinking point at the moment, if you saw this:

Refinement Arguments at Head of Args List, Not Tail

In the corpus of code we have so far, it seems to me that when a refinement adds an argument to a function that it would be preferable if that argument would become the first parameter... not tacked onto the end. Some cases might not be completely obvious one way or another: >> append [a b c] [d e] == [a b c [d e]] >> append:dup [a b c] [d e] 2 ; old way == [a b c [d e] [d e]] >> append:dup 2 [a b c] [d e] ; new idea == [a b c [d e] [d e]] I think it's better if it's first, but it's not …
