Hi All,

For the last few weeks when using dynamic variables I've tended to 
create a new 'accessor' word rather than using 'foo get'.

E.g. I'd do

: foo  "foo" get ;

I don't know what it is about the 'get' word, but for me it seems to 
interrupt the flow of the code. However I found that using @ in place of 
get (like forth does) doesn't niggle nearly me as much:

: @ get ;

foo @ do-something-with-foo

Does anybody else find 'get' gets in the way?

N.B. I've held off redefining ! for 'set' for the time being (and thus 
redefining the comment character in the process), mainly because I don't 
set variables very often and when I do it tends to be in a block at the 
start of a scope.

Cheers,

Phil
