COPY isn't evaluating the words in the block. The values in the "opt type"
subblocks of THIRD :FUNC are datatypes:
>> type? probe first fourth third :func
block!
== datatype!
whereas FUNC usually needs words in those subblocks. If you don't have a
word there, the contents of those subblocks are treated as samples of the
datatype:
>> cube: func [x [2 2.1]][x ** 3]
>> source cube
cube: func [x [integer! decimal!]][x ** 3]
LOAD MOLD, Ladislav's solution, converts the datatypes back to words.
Hope this makes some sense ...
