The problem is that A may not exist at line 1, but may at line 10. And I
can't just reserve temps because if I prohobited any re-use, I'd _QUICKLY_
run out of variable slots, or (were there an infinite # of slots) memory.
Also, even if I do manage to solve the simple "do" situation, now let's try:
put ((2+the value of c)*((the value of a)+(the value of b)))^the
value of (d & e) into f
OUCH!
