   I've thought of having non-smart numbers in a small Forth.  Instead of   
   123 you would say # 123 or something similar, where # is a parsing word   
   that emits LIT and the number.  I remember that the eForth metacompiler   
   does something like that, to handle the case where the host and target   
   processors have differing number representations (e.g. word sizes).
