Is REBOL interpreted or byte-compiled?
The reason I ask this is I see get word called 800,000 times below and I hope that each
invocation does not incur the overhead of a function call.
source: func [
"Prints the source code for a word."
'word [word!]
][
prin join word ": "
if not value? word [print "undefined" exit]
either any [native? get word op? get word action? get word] [
print ["native" mold third get word]
] [print mold get word]
]
