Those interested in new and unusual programming constructs, take a look at
R++ from AT&T, where Bjarne Stroustrup, the inventor of C++, works. Here's
the link:

R++ extends the C++ language with a single new programming construct -- the
rule. In addition to data-members and member functions, R++ adds a new kind
of member to C++ classes namely "member rules". A rule is a statement
composed of a condition and an action that specifies what to do when the
condition becomes true. Whenever some program data changes, rules whose
conditions involve that data are examined, and if a rule's condition
evaluates to true, its action is executed. The action may of course modify
data and therefore trigger other rules. Currently R++ is implemented as a
pre-processor. It translates R++ rules into C++ code.

What would this look like in REBOL?
