As you can see, it's hard to give simple examples for the use of ADDR
that are not contrived.

I use ADDR in assembler code to access VALUEs e.g.

  addr silencemax ) ax cmp

Since ADDR also works on my DEFERs I was able to avoid DEFER@ etc.

Bottom line: I don't use ADDR much (it would indicate I should be
using VARIABLE not VALUE) but very handy when I need to.
