Now I understand 13!:19, and it is fine as coded.

Raul's problem was that 13!:19 y requires that y be convertible to a string, so

13!:19 ] 1

was failing.

That seems like a valid use case.  More generally, it seems like it would be useful to poke around in _any_ stack frame, without destroying the ones beneath (or on top of, depending on which way your stacks grow) it.  But that leads to forking stacks and continuations.
