How do I make an `object!` from a `map!`

Question

I have a map!: #(a: 1) and want to convert it to an equivalent object! like: [a: 1].

Not every map! can be converted to an object: `object body-of m: #("1" "test")` will generate an empty object, while `object body-of m: #(a: test)` will fail with `Script Error: test has no value` — endo64, Sep 14 '21 at 07:02

Generate the object spec by converting the map to a block first. The map keys must all be word!s.

>> object to-block #(a: 5)
== make object! [
    a: 5
]

May or may not be what you'd expect when you have stuff nested: `#(a: 5 b: #(c: 3))` – Geeky I May 18 '17 at 15:28
you can also use `body-of` – Eran W May 25 '17 at 05:26
