If you feel that there is closely related functionality missing from the
proposal (especially if you have used that in your programs), make an informal
comment, and I will collect these, too. Note that the best time to voice such
issues is the RfD stage.
ISTR that TI-Forth, a fig-Forth derivative, used pointers to floats on
the one stack instead of storing the floats themselves (which were 4
cells themselves)... I always thought this kind of a nice way to handle
them.
But then again, I've been a Forth newbie for going on 20 years...
A pointer on the data stack, to a float somewhere else, is known as
an FVARIABLE.
