Hi, Ladislav,
I think we'll just have to agree to disagree then (which is perfectly OK).

Apples and oranges! I see it thus:
The "interesting" behavior of literal series values and SMC are simply
language features of REBOL (which one may choose to use -- or not).
Memoizing is a design technique for improving the speed of some functions.
When I said, speaking of literal-block tricks,
"This can be a handy tool ..."

to achieve a performance improvement, I simply meant that it was one of
several possible ways of achieving that goal, not that it was the only
way.
