[REBOL] Re: Namespaces for functions

Gregg -
by default, the context of most names in REBOL is global. However, within
the scope of a function, you can declare names to be local within it's
context...
For example:
my-name: "Test"
my-func: func [my-arg /local my-name] [
;function body here...
]
Essentially w/o the /local refinement, any reference to "my-name" within the
function would affect the global value of my-name. I suspect that you could
leverage a similar feature, along with paths in order to avoid namespace
collisions. By loading a function library into a named value -
my-image-lib: load %image-lib.r
in theory I suppose you could then reference functions within the library
something like:
my-image-lib/function-x [arg1 arg2]
Or something similar...
