That last little booger I posted didnt let you update values, and crashed when you
asked it a stupid question. This updated version lets you update values, and
returns none when you ask it about a key it has not encountered:
assoc: make object! [
list: copy[]
clear: func[][list: copy[]]
set: func[key value][
if get key[unset key]
append list key
append/only list reduce[value]
]
get: func[key] [
rv: none
error? try [rv: first select list key]
:rv
]
unset: func [key][remove/part find list key 2]
]
You still want to be careful when using block keys.

The problem of language here are really serious.
