Good work! Glad you were able to learn enough from the docs & source alone.
Only suggestion I have is that instead of `124`, you can use `CHAR: |`. If
you try it out in the listener, you'll see that it just pushes `124` onto
the stack. But it obviously reads much better! Unfortunately, the
listener can be misleading, because when it shows you the source code of a
word, it'll just show an integer even if the actual source code uses the
`CHAR:` word.
It also occurs to me that raw strings probably need to support some sort of
escape sequences, if only for their delimiters (i.e., how do you include a
pipe character in your string?). For the use-case of Windows paths, this
version of course does fine. But just in case you want to get an idea of
how Factor parses escape sequences in normal strings, take a look through
