Rebol reverence and followership

I noted to the Rebol3 group at the http://www.altme.com/ Rebol world that

>> test: 42
== 42
>> test:none
== test:none
>> testnone
** Script error: testnone has no value
comment  {test remains 42 but no error unlike, say, simple undefined testnone That missing space looks nasty when test:none should have been test: none Is this a bug in R3? test:none does not return none but instead returns test:none}

A tolerated bug in R2 becomes a revered feature in R3, no? If that is not a bug, then I may be the pope. Or is it "the caprice of the colon", otherwise known as 'the big C" ? You must excuse me, Jon Stewart just explained that science is faith and I am still in awe. Ohmmmmmmm.
