I feel like I'm loosing ground in my understanding of REBOL objects. My
whole understanding has been turned upside down in less than 24 hours.
Of course, this means that I really didn't understand them at all. It
also means that it clearly violates the principle of least surprise ---
at least for me. How depressing.
