   What use is SLITERAL?   
   03 Nov 25 13:40:02   
   
   What is the use case for SLITERAL.   
      
   : test [ "AAP" ] SLITERAL ;   
      
   Assuming "AAP" is made permanent you can as wel say   
      
   : test [ "AAP" ] DLITERAL ;   
      
   or   
   : test "AAP" ;   
      
   or   
   "AAP" 2CONSTANT q   
   : test q TYPE ;   
   or   
   DATA q 3 , &A C, &A C, &P C,   
   : test q $@ TYPE ;   
      
   I can't think if a case where SLITERAL is *not* preceeded by   
   [ ] because : is allowed to leave colon-sys .
