[REBOL] first second third ... last

'second, 'third and so on do the same as well as 'last. I'm of the opinion
that these functions should return 'none instead. So instead of:

>> first []
** Script Error: Out of range or past end.
** Where: first []

    they should return:

>> first []
== none

YMMV.
