What you see is not what you get. ;-) What MOLD prints as "native"
above is not the word 'native but the native function NOT.

== "[native]"
However, a native called 'NATIVE actually exists,

USAGE:
NATIVE spec
DESCRIPTION:
(undocumented)
ARGUMENTS:
spec -- (Type: block)
and as far as I can guess it is used by REBOL components during
startup to register new native functions.
This is probably a left over, the beta versions don't unset
internal functions like older releases did.

Gabriele.
