Hi Mike,
I'm pretty sure I've seen someone mention before here that they were
doing some work against this type of GIS file. Anyone remember who?

Yes!

The How-To docs section on REBOL.com has some good stuff in it.
(http://www.rebol.com/how-to/feel.html) EasyVID and (Brett's?)
VIDNotes are other good resources.

I did a little test mod of the plain REBOL editor that emulates
Intellisense, but it's been collecting dust for a while. It was a very
crude demonstration of the concept, but it would show a list of elements
in an object, or the interface for a function (as a tooltip in the
latter case). As Andrew said, making it context aware is the tricky
part. Probably doable, but would take a bit of work.
