How about find/whole switch eg:

str: "Hello Worldlings"
n: "World"
find/whole str n
== none

Basically does a insert n " " append n " " before the find command, just
saves a line of code.  An error occurs if "n" is the last word as it doesn't
find a space.  I usually add a space to the start and end of "str" to
alleviate it.  I suppose some parsing would work as well, but I'm not sure
if that slows the processing significantly or no?

There are many good functions out there that could be added.  Obviously the
trade off is bloating.  I've often thought there should be various versions,
a Rebol a la carte kinda thing... Start with a bare bones version and add
the function you need.  There must be someway to have a checklist of
features you want in your version, then have a bot (Autopilot.r :) alter,
build and deliver the result.
Don't want e-mail, then dump it, want CGI, then add it, embedd
pdf-maker.r?.. no problem.  One could have the hundreds of functions
available as well... bare bones for PDA's, Uber/Core when size is not a
problem.

PS - Having Rebol control a C++ compiler is actually quite simple, just a
wee bit time consuming to set it up.
