   Excellent observation.   
      
   Would you have any videos talking about Forth locals? You and dxf are   
   far more adept at stack manipulations than I. I'm thinking I can get a   
   word up and working with locals and then convert to manual stack   
   manipulations afterwards if necessary.   
      
   When is it necessary? dxf showed a word w/o locals to have ~%30 fewer   
   instructions than a word with locals. Is that a common occurrence?
