Nothing happens, the user won't see that command in the menu, but the command exists, can be typed on the keyboard and should even show up for autocomplete (when I finish implementing autocomplete, that is, as of today is not working).

It can, but CRLIB won't try to find anything in them, they will be ignored.

No use at all, they are hints for the symbolic compiler, nothing else.
EDIT: But having said that, please make sure you put the right number of arguments, even if ALLOWINSYMB is zero. For future expansion (think of a different compiler, for example, using the same commands to compile PPL instead of RPL). You may not allow it in a symbolic expression, but if the expression is evaluated at compile time that number may come in handy.
