I'm not so sure I see the difference.

The only time memory reserved by a res directive will be re-used for another
variable is when the res directive is in the context of a udata_ovr, where
you are declaring your intention that it be re-used, and have control over
how.  At least some high level languages have a similar capability, or at
least had back when memory was scarce.
