And indirect variables. If you saw my "indirect variables" thread on
raif, you'll know that I was very confused by the text in 1.1draft7.
Even though what it says is 100% right, I was confused over whether
indirect references meant "pull [sp]" or "pull sp". Can someone try and
write a couple extra sentences.

Speaking of winfrotz: it appears to me that if you call output_stream 2
twice, it will twice ask you which file to use. Doesn't spec1.0 say the
interpreter's not supposed to do that? (Or is it only not supposed to
ask if flags1 gets reset more than once?)

Don't know the history, but given its growing popularity, I wouldn't
think so.
