   Then what the heck are you doing with Forth? I mean:   
   - There are NO types, nor a compiler that holds your hand by checking   
   them incessantly ;   
   - There is NO expression parser in the sense of a shunting yard   
   algorithm that does all the work for you;   
   - There is NO calling mechanism in the sense that it transfers all the   
   parameters for you and neatly sets up stack frames;   
   - There is NO symbol table that is maintained for you - just a linked list;   
   - There are NO namespaces. Just some tools to hook up sub lists to one   
   big one.
