6 "The " { $vocab-link "make" } " vocabulary implements a facility for constructing sequences by holding an accumulator sequence in a variable. Storing the accumulator sequence in a variable rather than the stack may allow code to be written with less stack manipulation."

When the quotation returns, all accumulated elements are collected into a sequence with the same type as " { $snippet "exemplar" } "." }
