It's sometimes useful to temporarily save and restore the entire stack. These two words allow for this.

~~~:stack:save    (-a)   here [ depth dup , &, times ] dip ;   :stack:restore (a-)   &reset dip   dup fetch over + swap fetch [ dup fetch swap n:dec ] times drop ; ~~~

```#1 #2 #3 #4 #5 stack:save #3 swap stack:restore ```
