POKE object! allowed in spec, doesn't work #776

Open rebolbot opened 15 years ago

From meijeru: "POKE does not accept object! as its first argument (nor should it, I think) event though its spec allows it."

Either the spec should be changed, or it should be made to work.

(This ticket is split from #769)

** Script error: cannot use poke on object! value

It's been removed from POKE (and also from PICK - reflectors replace it.)
