Hi Joel, glad to hear from you again!

...your finding may well serve as a memento for some people where this 
patent stupidity is heading. (...Carthaginem esse delendam...)

OTOH, I am not seeing any Rebol operator that tries "to determine if two 
variables point to the same location in memory" :-), although the bugs 
in documentation (corrected now at least at some places) tried to 
suggest something like that.
