Irrelevant. The use of BAKR for saving registers in no way eliminates
the need for working storage in a program.

Most of our programs run within an infrastructure that passes pointers
to control blocks with pointers to internal services that provide
extremely thrifty storage allocation for local variables (e.g., from a
stack frame). GETMAIN is almost never used.
