Mmm, gforth doesn't like this. I can't think of any Forth system that
would. You wouldn't be posting off-topic, would you?

The point of the argument is that if there is a library that does the
work, even an intentionally obscure language can accomplish the task
in very little *additional* code.

Therefore, the implication clearly is that if libraries are available
for Forth that implement those capabilities, it would be even less
work to accomplish the task.
