or
select [name: "kai" city: "kelowna" year: "2005"] [name:]
;put set-word in a block
or, the typical way:
obj: construct [name: "kai" city: "kelowna" year: "2005"]
obj/name
this is often used for configs,
config: construct load/all %config-file.r

Any problem in computer science can be solved with another layer of
