I'll second Allen Egerton's "left over from Prime Information" theory. I
distinctly remember being told that indirect subroutine calls were
measurably faster way back in my days at Prime.

That is
SOURCE = "*SOME.PROGRAM"

CALL @SOURCE(INPUTS)
Is there some advantage to the use of indirect calls that a system would be
written entirely in this fashion?
