No it doesn't. It leaves garbage on the stack during compilation,
leading to mostly an error.
I leave it up to the reader whether this counts as a standard program.

I overlooked this clever example.
So I guess my VALUE is non compliant, proven by a contrived test.

It still makes no sense to forbid a flagging implementation.
(Also VALUE's don't make sense, anyway.)
