Well... it's certainly an interesting learning technique. That said, tacit definition does allow use of global parameters. For example, if you have a variable N, and you want to postpone finding its value until execution time, you could use do bind 'N' This phrase creates a "constant" verb which ignores its arguments and has the value of 'N' (whatever that might be). I also seem to remember that you can get a bunch of mnemonic names for various operations using require'primitives' However, personally, I do not like this approach (because, for example, it redefines the verb 'open'). (But I did not read your document all the way through.)
