Works fine as long as you only use it within other nested stuff.  Very 
useful.  It's the way call-by-name in Algol 60 was implemented.  And if 
you were to put the stack on the heap and garbage-collect it (which 
can cost a lot (Scheme does this, not recommended for Modula 3)), you 
don't need the nesting restriction.
