"When a lexical variable is bound using " { $link POSTPONE: :> } ", " { $link POSTPONE: :: } ", or " { $link POSTPONE: [| } ", the variable may be made mutable by suffixing its name with an exclamation point (" { $snippet "!" } "). A mutable variable's value is read by giving its name without the exclamation point as usual. To write to the variable, use its name with the " { $snippet "!" } " suffix."
