back when the Apple II / Applesoft BASIC twitter bot was a thing similar techniques were the best way to inject assembly language into a BASIC program, though we quickly learned there were more compact ways than REM to get a line ignored.

Some examples here, as sadly the apple2twitter bot shut down and deleted their account a while ago.
