Andy is exactly right -- and this is the way it should work. The real question is what might one do to let users have the functionality that Gene wants. If I were to do that, I would incorporate it into re-architecting the interpreter. It's important to remember that this code was originally designed and written in the distant past when memory was limited and expensive.
If we wanted to, we could take every variable and copy its present value into the runtime queue. Then we could provide a way of accessing the variables in the queue. We could do a lot. But it would need to be part of a major rewrite. That requires someone with the skills, the time, and the interest.
