What I had in mind when I wrote that is that
CREATE <word> <u> ALLOT
is just as good on the desktop.
But now that you got me thinking about it, I notice that, except for
throwaway code, I rarely use CREATE in that way (and don't use BUFFER:
at all). Why? Because the size is typically given at run-time to
allow flexibility, or the size may even grow (e.g., with RESIZE).
