   An XLIB is just any command or function, built-in or supplied by a
library. So it means you can store the following in your CST variable:

	{ { \->Q { << 100 DO\->Q >> } } }

   Which will result in a menu key with the label "->Q" but which will
run << 100 DO->Q >>.


   BTW, this makes me wonder about one thing... What if a library with
the number 2 is attached... I bet a number of system menus would have
new labels. (This can be done by altering the library after it is
attached.)
