   We are not really conservative about new features, but we are really, really   
   conservative about breaing clients' existing code. In other words, changing   
   how things work is much more dangerous than adding new operations.   
      
   Breaking client code leads to screams and immediate angry calls and   
   emails. We make great efforts not to break an app with over one million   
   lines of Forth source code. We do not have access to most client code.
