   I don't see how to do it in one line, and trivial is a subjective term.   
   I'd say in any case that it's not too difficult, but one line seems   
   overoptimistic.  Particularly, you need something like (LOCAL) in the   
   VM.  The rest is just some extensions to the colon compiler.  Your   
   mention of it taking 3-4 screens sounded within reason to me, and I   
   don't consider that to be a lot of code.
