It's exactly what I do all the time.
If you are reading this on the REBOL.org mailing list archive, then 90% of
the code that is displaying the message is in functions inside objects -- eg
something like:
do %ml-uf.r ;; mailing list utility functions
do %gl-uf.r ;; general library utility functions
msg: ml-uf/read-message ;; get the latest message
print gl-uf/defuse msg ;; escape html codes in msg and print
We're sort of creating out own vocabulary (read-message, defuse, etc etc) to
create an API while minimising the chances of any clash of names.
Contexts can (and in my case often do) easily have initialisation code:
ml-ut: context [
ml-folder: %../mlf/
if not exists? ml-folder [
;; code to set the whole thing up
]
read-message: func [.... etc
What they can't have (easily) is termination code -- stuff to flush caches,
close ports etc. Maybe that'll come with the fabled future modules.
