in reply to foreach funny business

My naive guess was that these were barewords and hence unchoppable, but it seems I was mistaken.

I do wonder at wanting to chop barewords instead of strings.

    They're not barewords. (It's a literal.) He knows why they are not chopable. (It's because they are read-only SVs.) He wants to know why mychop can chop those read-only SVs when chop can't. (Turns out it's pretty random how mychop works on different platforms, so there's probably no good answer to the question.)
