/remote server the command just dispatches the request to an execution server`
@greggirwin Another option to transfer the current function context words and refinements and the values, is to use the set syntax. It is perfect for keeping trace of refinements:
ctx: [[a b c /red ref-arg] [a b c false false]]You have just to convert /red to word before executing set
When words-of and values-of will be implemented for function it will be easy to write
ctx: reduce [words-of context? 'ref values-of context? 'ref]Also set words argument could accept refinements, so you can simply write:
set ctx/1 ctx/2
By far my most common case for filenames is date-naming them, which isn't a good match for
compositeand handled better byformat.
It's good until you want to customize it a lot.
[[keys][values]] split form with refinement you have to make a last management of the keys block to extrapolate the refinements, change to words and build a separate refinements block in case you would need this information.

I guess I've always customized them a lot, because it's so helpful IMO. e.g. zero padding counts and ISO8601 formatting dates, so lexical sorting works.
`"..."` is so utterly bad for you, let's consider just an empty issue # "...", because #` is completely ugly and using only opening quote makes no sense to me, if it's quotes they should be on both ends. # "..." is somewhat similar to char syntax though. But then any other symbol allowed in issues will be better than backquote. ## #! #$ #% #= #| #/ #\ #. #~
A poll from Nenad ☻
Which way to you guys use try most of the time?
- To silence errors, as in
if error? try [...] [..after-error recovery..] - To catch errors and process them later, as in
set/any 'err try [...] (... later err is processed...) - I never used
try
Please post your answers into thread if possible. Thanks.

try/catch isn't a thing. We have throw/catch which is not specifically error related, but is about general non-local flow control.
Do we have a function that creates a contex and binds the following code to context it running?
I want to create a with function:
with [a: 33 c: 33] [...code...]Which is equivalent to:
do bind [...code...] make object! [a: 33 c: 33]But I would like to know if it already exists.
