Hi,

Trying to revive this topic, as I come across, this rather old
`Oberon-2 journal'. My question is, with this extension of yours,
can we go for dynamic allocation as shown here below?

That's allocating on the stack, right, and requires SF in addition to
SP, i.e. makes use of one more dedicated register?

Many thanks.
