Relocate Block

[Turgut Guneysu]

Is it possible to place the block

into the DATA group?

What are the arguments for putting that block in “Data”?

The arguments for having it in “Operators” are: (a) it is an operator and (b) it works with all data types, not just the composite data types (lists, strings, and byte arrays) that are the domain of the “Data” category.

To make it more clear that the block works with data types in the “Operators” category, I will change the default from “string” to “number”.

I am biased by the fact that all verified types except “boolean” and “number” are in the data category (2 : 3). Also, I have never had to verify a boolean; majority of the uses I had was always specifically with data categories. However, if one considers the “operation” nature of the block, then it is in the right place. :)
