I don't think they prescribe an implementation technique, but the usual
approaches are put them in the return stack (maybe with a frame
pointer), or put them in a separate locals stack.  Either way you need a
temporary wordlist, and stuff to clean it all up on returning from the
function or if something throws an exception.
