The use of the data stack is described in Volume 8 (Internals, Processes,
and Storage Management) of the Symbolics documentation set, pp. 26-28.
In summary, special forms are provided that allow you to cons arrays on the
data stack, rather that in garbage-collected heap storage. The arrays have
dynamic extent (and either lexical or indefinite scope). They get popped
off when the form is exited. This facility is like that which lets you cons
lists on the control stack. Currently, only arrays can be allocated on the
data stack. I don't know if Release 7 will permit more kinds of objects.
