My experience has been that users generally do not have a very clear

From your vantage point as VOE technical lead, could you paraphrase the code

single user (free license) Cache.

Well, indirection is not a concept unique to MUMPS. Do you recall
that I said the symbol table associates a memory location with a
variable. Well, that memory location is identified by a (typically
large) integer. Indirection is the process of retrieving the value
stored at that location.
