Hello RChristiansen
Here is one way to do what you want:
>> ob1: make object! [x: "hello"]
>> ob1: make ob1 [y: "world"]
>> probe ob1
make object! [
x: "hello"
y: "world"
]
The line
ob2: make ob1 []
will clone ob1 and any definitions placed in the argument block will be
added to those in ob1. If a varname in the block is already in ob1, it will
be redefined to the new value in ob2.
