Sounds much too manual. You may need dozens of words, and it's a great hassle to repeat every time you compile. Why 'compile'? If you download anything it should be source text. Then you can integrate it with your application and adjust as needed.

option to call the word by various requested or provided names, and
also the option to provide an interface wrapper layer of word(s), which
also download the word.

Don't understand this one. How can a word have 'various' names? Wrappers are sometimes necessary; you could have a list of wrappers for common Forth variants, or provide a local one yourself. All that would be easier if you're dealing with source, which is the preferred distribution medium in Forth anyway.

this allows easy usage of pre defined library words, change of
interface with transparrent integration, and stats on name preferrred
by users.

What we need is to encourage convergence on single names for single functions, not more naming diversity.

Cheers,
Elizabeth
