Forgive if I'm wrong but isn't what you're suggesting really a
short-hand substitution for code readability rather than a language
capability. Something like a C header file:
#define bar "Hello"
I took a quick look at the Prebol documentation at Rebol.com but it
appears not to have a #define capability.
