We have protect command already available. That's just first level available.
We have encrypt and decrypt functions available. As for local networks,
educatory purposes, whatever, you can provide your script encrypted, and let
the script to download password. The problem is - what to do about outputting?
What about to introduce new function called 'hide ? It could protect functions,
objects, from sourcing, probing, molding, etc. But I am not sure it's that
easy, because of rebol self reflection capabilities ...
