   "Doubling back" to the beginning of this thread, does the above mean   
   that gforth uses IEEE binary64 aka double precision floating point   
   numbers to perform floating point math on the floating point stack?   
      
   This section https://gforth.org/manual/Floating-Point-Tutorial.html of   
   the gforth documentation doesn't come out and plainly say what floating   
   point precision (IEEE binary64 or IEEE binary32 or ... ) is used.
