"/foo 10 string cvs ==" produces "(foo)" when sent to our QMS ps-800.
It produces "(/foo)" when sent to psh under NeWS (release 1.0, I believe).

Who is right?  Is the leading slash truly part of a literal?  Or (more
likely) will differing groups justify their output with the catch-all
"It's an implementation dependent operator?"
