I suggest that the following should at least be added: `; < > ^` and possibly also back-slash `\\` which is not allowed in Red/System, for compatibility. Admittedly, `;` will pop-up automatically when the treatment of end-of-line comments is added.\r\n\r\nAnother question is the treatment of special words that function as operators: `<= < <> < >= >> > + - * // /` These need probably to be screened separately, although (by analogy with REBOL) they have the datatype `word!`.","comments":3,"title":"Characters not allowed in Red words: some others suggested","updated_at":"2011-10-13T09:46:54Z","url":"https://api.github.com/repos/dockimbel/Red/issues/179","id":1884727,"assignee":null,"milestone":null,"closed_at":"2011-10-13T09:46:54Z","user":{"avatar_url":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/645915b3dc0cc3061b774eddc148e7d8?d=https://a248.e.akamai.net/assets.github.com%2Fimages%2Fgravatars%2Fgravatar-140.png","url":"https://api.github.com/users/meijeru","id":743227,"login":"meijeru"},"html_url":"https://github.com/dockimbel/Red/issues/179","labels":[{"name":"status.pending","url":"https://api.github.com/repos/dockimbel/Red/labels/status.pending","color":"c4c4c4"},{"name":"type.codereview","url":"https://api.github.com/repos/dockimbel/Red/labels/type.codereview","color":"FF8C00"}],"state":"closed"},"legacy":{"number":179,"action":"closed","issue":1884727}}
