What? You want to tell me, that I can pass pointer to rebol word (pointing
to/"containing" binary data) to the library, and manipulate such data
directly via library interface? Eh, that's imo impossible as it would be
easy. IIRC we are not able to manipulate rebol datatypes data from external
environment, or am I wrong?
