I find myself using the following pattern quite a bit when most of the words in a vocabulary seem to operate on a single important object:
! in a shogi vocab where most words operate on a shogi board : bg ( -- board-gadget ) board-gadget get ; : with-board-gadget ( gadget quot -- ) board-gadget swap with- variable ; inline The use of the namespace stack simplifies the code, but I'm wondering if it keeps the compiler from optimizing past the namespace lookup. Is there a way to do this that is more kind to the optimizing compiler?
