                     42:   \G @code{allocate}s the string. The resulting memory leak is usually
                     43:   \G not a problem; the exception is if you create strings containing
                     44:   \G @code{S"} and @code{evaluate} them; then the leak is not bounded

                     47:   \G 80 characters, so in standard programs you should assume that the
