I  see your point, although the reason REBOL does not have this is
that  basically  nothing  is  evaluated  unless specifically noted
otherwise.  I can understand the confusion this can create though.
I  wonder  if  it  would  be useful to have a keyword! datatype in
REBOL;  I must say that in so many years I never felt the need for
it.

Regards,
   Gabriele.
