This is an interesting question. I usually ask this kind of
questions to REBOL itself:
>> block: [a]
== [a]
>> a: 1
== 1
>> obj: make object! [a: 2]
>> get first block
== 1
>> get bind first block in obj 'self
== 2
>> get first block
== 1
>> get in obj first block
== 2
>> get first block
== 1
Because of this reason, I tend to believe REBOL's creating a new
word. Of course, it might just be that FIRST is creating a new
word, but I consider this quite unlikely.
Regards,
Gabriele.
