	\|-		100 A=1:B$="OLD":DIM C$(10)

	~~! Stack Level~~		120 D=4:E$="TEMP":DIM F$(20)

	~~Example Behavior~~:		After .19:
			* A still equals 99
			* B$ still exists
			* C$() still exists
			* D no longer exists
			* E$ no longer exists
			* F$() no longer exists

	* At stack level 1, variables are in their normal initialized state.
	* Executing .18 saves this state and creates Stack Level 2. Variables may now be changed without affecting Level 1.
	* Executing .18 again creates Stack Level 3. Stack Level 2 is now preserved on the stack. Variables may now be changed without affecting Levels 1 or 2.
	* Executing .19 when in stack level 3 restores Stack Level 2 (a$ becomes "Cat").
	* Executing another .19 would restore stack level 1 (a$ becomes "Dog").

	~~Each .18 pushes a complete variable snapshot. Each .19 restores the most recently saved snapshot.~~
