More relevant here, I think, is that it is a kludgy way of doing
something that now is commonly done - and done properly - by the
compiler itself.  What motivated it and whether that thing is now out
of service (which I'm not convinced the PDP-11 is, wholly) are of minor
import compared to its current utility, I would say.
