In general, like:
f: func [/x][x: random 10 'x]
b: [] loop 10 [append b w: f probe get w] reduce b
You wind up with all the same number in the block, though 'x in f's
context had been 10 different random numbers.

Right-o. The idea tossed around has been that functions can be
saved explicitly with the function attribute: [save].
