.op "DECLARE_STAT_OP         11"
int 11
int object_id
string external_name
.bd
DECLARE_STAT informs the code generator that an object defined outside
the current module will be referenced by a given integer object id.
The parameter 'external_name' is a character string, represented in
the IMF by a length followed by a stream of ASCII characters (one per
word, right justified, zero filled).
The external name is used by the link editor and the loader to resolve
actual references to the object.
.bx
Example:  extern int abc
          where 'abc' is assigned the object id 6

         11       DECLARE_STAT_OP
         6           Object id of 'abc'
         3           Length of name 'abc'
         225            character 'a'
         226            character 'b'
         227            character 'c'
.ex
.op "DEFINE_STAT_OP          14"
int 14
int object_id
tree init_list
int size
.bd
This operator causes storage for the object identified by 'object_id'
to be allocated in the current link frame (static data area).
'Object_id' must be used in all subsequent references to the object,
and the object's definition with DEFINE_STAT must precede all
such references.
The init_list is a list of initializers whose values will be assigned
to successive portions of the newly-declared object.
The size parameter specifies the amount of storage to be reserved for
the object, in words.
(Slightly fewer than 65,535 words are available for static storage in each
module.)
.bx
Example:  static int abc[100]
          where abc is assigned the object id 6

         14       DEFINE_STAT_OP
         6           Object id for 'abc'
         39          NULL_OP (no initializers present)
         100         Object is 100 words long
