Why use value() rather than new_from_string()?
I guess it is that the manual doesn't really explain the intent of functions and things are scattered through the manual so that unless you know what you are looking for you can only find it by examining all the libraries.
Re a = b, 'A' + 'B'.
You are not making a firm distinction between what a set of bytes means and the actual values.
a = b in one place means assign the value of b to a, in another place it means test a is equal to b.
'A' + 'B' is nonsense 65 + 66 is not. Their representations are the same (and in Euphoria presumably if you wrote c = 'A' + 'B' then c would be assigned 131) - but shouldn't that be nonsense?
