Some of it might simply be oversights in the depth of the Rebol code. Take
another example, this one with tuples:
>> mytuple: 1.2.3.4.5
== 1.2.3.4.5
>> poke mytuple 3 88
== 1.2.88.4.5
>> mytuple/2: 99
== 99
>> mytuple
== 1.99.3.4.5
>>
The Poked 88 has vanished! Magic!! Or maybe just a fault awaiting a fix.
