I can think of no good reason to allocate storage.  However, the
compiler doesn't always do things that make sense to me.  For example,
if you have a module where you have both a mainline and called
procedures, %OPEN BIF acts strangely.  There's no good reason for it to
act the way it does.  So I've learned to take nothing for granted, and I
was just trying to make sure of my supposition.
