Today's obscure question has to do with the interaction between bind
and save/restore.

1) If one does a save and then a bind, will the restore undo the
effects of the bind?

2) If the answer is yes, is this true for packed arrays as well as
ordinary ones?  (Ed Taft's recent posting confirmed that bind does
affect packed arrays, even though they are normally read-only.)

	Thanks -
