Or, LOAD a REUS,NORENT,NOREFR CSECT and use that for the anchor.
REUS causes subsequent calls to return the samd address.  Calls
after the first should DELETE it, just to keep the reference
count from overflowing.

Programmers used to do lots of things such as this before name/token
became available.

Why do you think IDENTIFY (with LOAD) has lower overhead?
