this is just an evaluation order artifact - FIRST SYSTEM/WORDS isn't a
living thing
, it is just a "freezed copy". You can get a normal behaviour,
if you try this:
in rebol/words to-word "never-defined-this" ; == never-defined-this
, while:
in rebol/words first to-block "never-defined-this-2" ; == none
