Here's another version with the following benefits:

(1) Shorter.

(2) If the input is not a program, it turns it into one instead of bombing out.

Example:
Input: object
Output: :: TakeOver object ;
Instead of: Error: Bad Argument Type

(3) If the input is a program, it inserts TakeOver into the beginning of that program instead of embedding the whole thing inside a new program.

Example:
Input: :: objects ;
Output: :: TakeOver objects ;
Instead of: :: TakeOver :: objects ; ;

Code:

   H\-> EVAL

The above works by creating & running the following System RPL program (which I call 'TAKOV'):

Code:

::
  CK1NoBlame
  ?Ob>Seco
  '
  TakeOver
  >HCOMP
;
