<h3 id="Defer_statements">Defer statements</h3>

<p>
A "defer" statement invokes a function whose execution is deferred
to the moment the surrounding function returns, either because the
surrounding function executed a <a href="#Return_statements">return statement</a>,
reached the end of its <a href="#Function_declarations">function body</a>,

the function should start by zeroing the results and then
executing the pseudo-instruction <code>GO_RESULTS_INITIALIZED</code>.
This instruction records that the results are now initialized
and should be scanned during stack movement and garbage collection.
It is typically easier to arrange that assembly functions do not
return pointers or do not contain call instructions;
no assembly functions in the standard library use

The variable used by each subsequent iteration is declared implicitly before
executing the post statement and initialized to the value of the previous
iteration's variable at that moment.
