exactly :-) As Rebol grows, it will replace nowadays obscure "technologies"

Found these words:
     event!         (datatype)
     event?         (action)
     to-event       (function)
->> evt-port: open [scheme: 'event]

The same kind of output will come from /Command console. As you can see, even
clipboard:// is blocked for both Core and Command. I think that RT could
rethink the issue and definitely move event system into core language, not
just View module. GUI events are just one of possible area of usage. I think
e.g. timers (just another example of event) belong definitely to Core ...
