Is there a way to implement "execute only" logical names?
That is, a logical name that cannot be translated by the
user for the purpose of looking at the value, but may be
otherwise used.

e.g.

   $ define/system FOO$TEMP "HOST""USERNAME PASSWORD""::DISK$FOO:[TEMP]"

But where you would want to hide the username and password
from $ SHOW LOG FOO$TEMP
