   Yes, I know. That is why I pointed to a standard-compliant   
   implementation for "postpone" [2].   
      
   In Forth-2012, you can define a new "postpone" using "get-order",   
   "traverse-wordlist", "name>compile", "compile," and "literal".  And   
   nothing in the standard prohibits applying this word to "to".
