Seems like the "value behaviour" is something that could be implemented in 
[array define] with a new flag, right?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the [array] objects already have [value] like 
behavior, in that you can have multiple objects referencing the same array. The 
difference is that with [value], the reference is implicit while with [array] 
it is explicit (ie. [array define]).

The only thing a flag could do would be to tell [array define] to accept the 
first instance of a particular argument and reject the rest. But this would 
lead to a lot of confusion since you could have lots of empty [array define]'s 
scattered around the place.

The best solution is surely to put the array in a parent patch of the 
abstraction. If you don't mind putting it there yourself, you can do as Ingo 
suggested. If you want it to happen automatically, then there are neat dynamic 
patching solutions available.

In moonlib you can find [sarray] and [slist], which implement the [value] 
behaviour (i.e multiple declarations of a shared data) for array and list of 
symbols.
They are also dynamically re-assignable.

Maybe you can just put the text/array object into the main file, like in
the attached demo?

best, ingo
