Translations. If you wanted to translate REBOL or any REBOL
dialect into another human language (i.e. not English).

Because once you have said that "stampa" is a different spelling
for "print", the current implementation is no more able to "undo"
this, probably for the same reason why words cannot be removed
from contexts.
Of course, AFAIK. (I strongly agree that we need more
documentation.)
Regards,
Gabriele.
