This place here has an interesting discussion as to how to do a simple
vector addition in Forth and what that entails:
I noticed that when I was writing my own threaded interpreters. The
first thing I did was added rot3, rot4, rot5, rot6, rot7, dup3, dup4,
dup5, ....
All of a sudden, things like that became much easier.
dup6 dup6 dup6 + rot5 + rot4 + rot3 ( or some such )
On the other hand, I never got a function that took more than a handful
of arguments or lines to work right in FORTH. I think his complaints are
pretty accurate even for a language version with extended accessor bits.

Ever notice how people in a zombie movie never already know how to
kill zombies? Ask 100 random people in America how to kill someone
who has reanimated from the dead in a secret viral weapons lab,
and how many do you think already know you need a head-shot?
