Enhancement request - set-word!s in functions should be local, NOT global.
What would be really, really nice would be for Rebol to automatically
allocate all set-word!s in a function to be in the function's local words
context. This can be done automatically, like set-word!s in object!s, and
probably use exactly the same C function used there.
Words that are intended to have global impact, should be assigned using
'set.
The disadvantage of this may be that some constructed (mezzanine) iteration
functions might not work as expected?
The advantages are speed of developement and it greatly lessens errors in
people's work.
