Hi Tim,
hiding words in REBOL is independent of objects and facilitated by the 'use
context. The 'use context can be used in objects.
The 'use native is used to create a context in which words are hidden:
use [ a b c ] [
a: 1
b: 2
c: 3
]
object: make object! [
a: none
b: none
use [a b] [
a: "this is the hidden a"
b: "this is the hidden b"
]
]
If we probe the object we find that the words in the use context are not
exposed:
>> probe object
make object! [
a: none
b: none
]
