Rebol unfortunately doesn't allow objects to be expanded. However you can
expand block! values. For example:
>> Example: [ Name "Fred" Age 5000000 ]
== [Name "Fred" Age 5000000]
>> repend Example ['Address "123 Bedrock Path"]
== [Name "Fred" Age 5000000 Address "123 Bedrock Path"]
>> example/name
== "Fred"
>> example/address
== "123 Bedrock Path"
