[REBOL] Re: Links ? Pointers ?

He's talking about the possibility of multiple variables pointing at
an immutable value:
>> X: make object! [Name: {Spock}]
>> A: B: :X
Then, say, changing the object entirely:
>> X: make object! [Species: {Human}]
and having A and B now also point to the new object.
Here's a way to simulate it:
>> X: reduce [make object! [Name: {Spock}]]
>> A: B: X
>> X/1: make object! [Species: {Human}]
Now, A/1 and B/1 also point at the new object.
