   Build Forth interpreter into a C/C++ app

   I happened to be reading an interview of Tom Zimmer   
   https://jimlawless.net/blog/posts/zimmer/ in which he states:   
      
   "When I work with other C programmers on large projects, I always build   
   in a Forth interpreter into the application, for debugging purposes. The   
   hardware guys love it, because it gives them so much power to figure out   
   what is going on with the hardware. For software debugging, it is great   
   because it gives you an interactive method of figuring out how to talk   
   to the hardware before going off and writing a driver in C."   
      
   Would anyone have a "Hello, World!" type example of this technique?   
      
   I do see   
   https://gforth.org/manual/Integrating-Gforth.html   
   which ends with an ominous "More documentation needs to be put here." :-)
