I am wondering about the case where e.g. I:
    foo. = 'Blanket'
    drop foo.baz

How does IRXEXCOM report to a caller that foo.baz has been dropped?

I might embellish this with:
    foo. = 'Blanket'
    moth = random( 1, 99999 )
    drop foo.moth
    drop moth

Now I no longer know which compound symbol I dropped.  How does IRXEXCOM
tell me a hole has been eaten in my blanket?
