At this point yes.  The RC1 style address parser was removed in the
release because it did not fit well with the new improved parser.
The main elements of INDIRECT should be fully functional, all we
need to restore is the parsing.
 
It would be nice to restore shortly, but there are several things
above that on the TODO list.  The code itself is pretty trivial,
boring C style string parsing.
