You have to draw the distinguish between the object o1 and the word
'o1 which is a label identifying the object.
You just need to reduce the series to translate the words into the
objects they reference.
You can think of square brackets ([])as being rather like quotation marks ("").
Within quotation marks you get a string of characters.
Within square brackets you get a series of words.
Both have to be evaluated.
>> o1: make object! []
>> o2: make object! []
>> probe type? o2
object!
== object!
>> s: [o1 o2]
== [o1 o2]
>> probe type? s/1
word!
== word!
>> probe s/1
o1
== o1
>> probe (s/1 = 'o1)
true
== true
>> s: reduce [o1 o2]
== [make object! [
] make object! [
]]
>> probe s/1
make object! [
]
>> probe (s/1 = o1)
true
== true
DESCRIPTION:
Evaluates an expression or block expressions and returns the result.
REDUCE is a native value.
