Given that "A stack-constrained system may prefer to use a buffer to store the items and place a reference to the buffer on the return stack.", I think a better stack notation for execution semantics would be "( i * x +n -- ) ( R: -- strg-sys )" (or some other "*-sys"), to indicate pretty clearly that: 1) the user can not rely on what data format gets pushed onto the return stack, and 2) *something* gets pushed on to the return stack and should not be meddled with.
