Re: Parsing timestamps?

It was thus said that the Great LIT <zbigniew2011@gmail.com> once stated:

The more common complaint is that you use some feature they dislike
(typically locals) when you would otherwise DUP ROT instead.

 
But aren't 'locals' actually PICK/ROLL in disguise?

  In my implementation [1], it's a PICK off the return stack (technically,
from a set point in the return stack) as locals aren't allowed to remain on
the data stack per the ANS standard.
