\;	This file produces bloat in POX at the rate of  twenty  words
\;per  iteration.    The essence is the macro REDEF which takes a macro
\;name as argument, deletes  the  old  definition,  and  redefines  the
\;macro.    Note  that the indirection (macro taking macro name as arg)
\;is necessary.   If line 15, the call to REDEF, is replaced  by  lines
\;16  and  17, redefinition of a particular macro, the bloat goes away.
\;Also, if line 8 is replaced by line 9, the bloat goes away.
