║ isn't defined, it can be displayed to indicate such, or its value can be checked ║
║ to determine if a particular associative array element has been set (defined). ║

║ The list of states (empty as of now). It's convenient to have them in alphabetic ║
║ order; they'll be listed in the order as they are in the REXX program below). ║
║ In REXX, when a key is used (for a stemmed array, as they are called in REXX), ║
║ and the key isn't assigned a value, the key's name is stored (internally) as ║
║ uppercase (Latin) characters (as in the examples below. If the key has a ║
║ a value, the key's value is used as is (i.e.: no upper translation is performed).║
║ Actually, any characters can be used, including blank(s) and non─displayable ║
║ characters (including '00'x, 'ff'x, commas, periods, quotes, ···). ║
