Single-digit strings.

Sure, it's not abuse.  It's the language.  Just as dc(1) allows a byte
as the name of a string.

    $ dc -e '6 7*s
    > cl
    > p'
    42
    $

If you think it might clash with other uses of strings 0, 1, ... then
prefix their name.

    .ds lut0 0
    ...
    \[u216\*[lut\nn]]
