In a way it is unfortunate that the special coding works at the end
rather than the beggining of a list... Eg Behead has a dyadic form
Drop }. but Curtail does not ... are there some better (future) plans
for a dyadic curtail or any reason that the obvious multiple
curtailment should not be implemented, also with special coding?
i am using a stack in a simulation system and efficient backtracking
with the likes of
stack=: stack,x
...
back=: back, {: stack
stack=: }: stack
would be welcome, multiple item popping even more so. Other Forth like
stack ops also welcome, eg swap:-)
