I'm not sure how well the concept fits with the prototype-based model
REBOL uses. It's not that it can't be done, I think Max has built a
class-based object system in REBOL already. The question is whether
this is a better solution than how we would do it today (what you
might call workarounds :).
Carl's latest blog posts about objects indicate that there will be
more flexibility in R3 objects. I'd like to hear some of the gurus
weigh in on this too.
