Yes, but in Rebol this order is not important, while is important the
arguments order, so it seems to me a wrong mode to extend the language, also
because:
find/skip a b 3
should become:
find a b false false false false false true 3
omitting arguments for false refinements, else it should become something
like:
apply :find [find a b false false false false false false false true 3]
using the refinements names, it become
apply :find [a b /skip 3]
which is a little more readable.
What means?
apply :find [a b false false false false false false false false false
false false false true]
Solution:
find/reverse a b
or in the alternative syntax:
apply :find [a b /reverse]
