that's very, very cool!

fortunately that's rather easy.

b: copy []
append b to-set-word "foo"
append b "bar"
obj: make object! b
probe obj

    make object! [
       foo: "bar"
    ]

you'll probably prefer to construct objects like shown above, but ...

prepare: func [ x ] [
         r: make type? x length? x
         foreach [ k v ] x [
                 repend r [ to-set-word k v ]
         ]
         r
]

make object! prepare ["x" 1 "y" 2 "z" 3]
