Now consider the following:
We have modules that try to improve performance by doing complex computations
only once.
The modules are RENT, because they are used in a dialog environment.
This is usually implemented by having a static pointer which is initialized
with zero. The first time the module is called the static pointer is
inspected. If still zero, the computation has to be done and in the end
the static pointer is changed to the location of the result (usually a table
of results, depending on the various inputs).

For a logic of this kind, I need RENT programs which can be changed.
Rather than RENT programs that can be changed I suggest that you simply
need to use a different technique, such as name/token services, to
anchor your computed values.
