There is also a key feature that sets it apart from most HLLs: usually if
you declare a variable A, then you can access A's value just by writing A;
its address is automatically dereferenced.

Not always.  This is where left- and right-evaluation came in.  On the
left of an assignment A denotes a "place" to receive a value.  On the
right, it denotes a value obtained from a place.  CPL used the terms and
C got them via BCPL's documentation.  Viewed like this, BLISS just makes
"evaluation" a universal concept.
