Yes, it is exactly what i think. It is true that:
http://www.rebol.com/docs/core25.html#section-11
speaks only of Third, but is also true that:
pick :do 3
gives the same result of
third :do.
I think they forgot to implement it in Pick after implenting it in Third.

My most frequent question: "there is a reason that i don't see for this
behaviour of Rebol?"
99% the answer is YES. But remains that 1%...

In the mailing list? I did not see it.
