+It is not yet clear exactly what this statement would achieve.
+The semantic equivalent would be provided by @code{RECURSIVE}
+combined with lack of @code{SAVE}.
+In that sense, perhaps all it would provide is an
+overriding of an unadorned (blanket) @code{SAVE} statement
+for specific variables.
+
+It might also serve as a hint to the compiler that placing
+even a very large array on the stack is acceptable.
+
+Perhaps it should disallow @code{DATA}
+or other specification of any initial values
+for affected variables as well.
