In Rebol 3 (Ren-C):

>> g: 1
== 1

>> wrap [a: 100 b: 200 c: b - a   a + b + c + g]             
== 401

>> context [a: 100 b: 200 c: b - a  a + b + c + g]       
== make object! [
    [self: a b c]
    [
        a: 100
        b: 200
        c: 100
    ]
]

>> context [a: 100 b: 200 c: b - a return a + b + c + g]

ⓘ  Note: use WHY for more error information

CONTEXT should always return an OBJECT! :) Hence why WRAP was added to Rebol 3 (and Ren/C branch went further and disallowed RETURN).
