[REBOL] Re: Private/Public attributes

Hi, Miguel,
No, AFAICT.
An object's context/namespace is easily accessed from outside.
(Likewise for locals of functions, if you push the point.)
If you like, you can think of this as a virtue, as it supports
introspection/reflection (or whatever other buzzword you prefer),
which allows an evaluation in process to e.g. inquire about, and
change behavior depending on, the composition of objects being
used within the computation.
Incidentally, I recently read a remark by someone who saw the
following in a header file...
#define private public
...for a language whose identity you can guess! ;-)
