How to use IN with a block instead of an object?

Question

The IN function in Rebol finds out if a field is in an object:

USAGE:
    IN object word

DESCRIPTION:
    Returns the word or block in the object\'s context         


        

Answer 1

This might not be as useful, but since it is not explicitly mentioned, and I think is the 'right' way to solve your first question for now:

red>> first find [foo: 10 bar: 20] 'foo
== foo:

This doesn't work on rebol2 tho, but quoteing the set-word! does :

>> first find [foo: 10 bar: 20] quote [foo:]
== foo:

Still has the slight disadvantage of returning a set-word!
