	And for the avionics I have been exposed to -- you do not use
constructs that require the secondary stack... Same reason -- size not
known until run-time.

	Granted -- it was a bit tedious to not be able to just concatenate
literal strings with the result of, say 'image() to format an output line;
instead needing to specify the entire literal including space for the
varying data, and substring (fixed dimensions) to placeholder(s).
